Description
Glardon-Vallorbe warding needle files are Swiss-made precision tools trusted by jewelers, metalsmiths, and watchmakers worldwide. Warding files are parallel in thickness, tapered in width, and thin — making them ideal for working in slots, keyways, and narrow recesses where control and accuracy are critical. These files feature round handles and are available in four lengths and multiple cuts to suit a wide range of finishing tasks.
Manufactured to precise production standards using a combination of machine cutting and hand craftsmanship, Glardon-Vallorbe needle files are made from the finest heat-tempered chrome alloy steel. They deliver superior performance on all metals with the right feel, action, and balance demanded by professional craftspeople.
File lengths are measured from tip to tip. Cuts are graded from 00 (coarsest) to 6 (finest) — the higher the number, the finer the cut. Measurements given are at the thickest point.
