Grobet - Length & Cut: 100-4

Grobet USA Half-Round Needle Files are tapered in both width and thickness, coming to a rounded point at the tip, and are cut on both sides — making them ideal for filing curved interior and exterior surfaces at the bench. Available in four lengths and a wide range of cuts from 00 Extra Coarse through 6 Extra Fine, these files give jewelers and metalsmiths the versatility to match the right tooth to the task.

Beginning in 2015, Grobet Swiss Pattern Needle Files are manufactured in Italy rather than Switzerland. If you are looking for the original Swiss-made needle files, Otto Frei carries an extensive stock of genuine Glardon-Vallorbe Swiss Made Half-Round Needle Files LA2402, LAV2402, LA2418, as well as Half-Round Escapement Files LE3008, in a wide variety of cuts and sizes. Glardon-Vallorbe of Switzerland is the original manufacturer of Swiss needle files — if your file says Swiss Made, it was made by Glardon-Vallorbe.

Needle file lengths are measured tip to tip, including the handle section (tang). Not all cuts are available in all lengths.
