Glardon-Vallorbe Valtitan Round Needle Files LAV2410-180

Glardon-Vallorbe Swiss-made precision files are the world's standard for quality and performance. Manufactured to precise production standards using a combination of machine cutting and hand craftsmanship, these files are made from the finest heat-tempered chrome alloy steel — delivering the accuracy, feel, and balanced action that true craftsmen demand. Glardon-Vallorbe precision files deliver superior performance on all metals.

The Valtitan Round Needle File is specially treated to achieve a hardness of 72 HRc on the Rockwell scale — the hardest steel file known. This treatment makes Valtitan files exceptionally effective on hard-to-file surfaces, while also providing corrosion resistance and extended file life. Valtitan files resist metal accumulation in the teeth; a simple knock is typically enough to dislodge chips. They are especially recommended for platinum and other hard metals such as stainless steel, yet perform equally well across all metals.

The round needle file is tapered in both width and thickness, ending in a rounded point — ideal for enlarging holes, shaping curved channels, and refining interior contours. Starting in 2016, Valtitan files are no longer produced with yellow-painted tangs; the factory now imprints VALTITAN directly on the tang to identify these premium files.
