Glardon-Vallorbe Three-Square Needle Files - LA2407

A needle file shapes and refines small detail work at the bench where a full-size file will not fit. Swiss-made Glardon-Vallorbe three-square needle files have round handles, and the triangular section is gradually tapered and cut to the point, so all three faces cut. Needle file lengths are measured from tip to tip, including the handles. The cut is graded with a number from 00 for the coarsest through 6 for the finest, so remember that the higher the number, the finer the cut. Glardon-Vallorbe Swiss-made needle files are manufactured to precise production standards, using a combination of machine cutting and hand craftsmanship, and are made of heat-tempered chrome alloy steel with the feel, action, and balance craftsmen look for.
