Glardon-Vallorbe Marking Needle Files - LA2418

Glardon-Vallorbe Marking Needle Files are Swiss-made precision files with round handles. Lengths are measured tip to tip, including the handles. These files share the same tapered shape as half-round files — narrowing in both width and thickness to a rounded point — but with one critical difference: the cut is on the half-round side only, while the flat bottom side is safe with no cut. This makes them ideal for filing in tight areas without marring adjacent surfaces.

Glardon-Vallorbe Swiss-made needle files are manufactured to precise production standards, using a combination of machine cutting and hand craftsmanship to produce accurate, fast-cutting, and long-lasting files. Made from the finest heat-tempered chrome alloy steel, they deliver superior performance on all metals. Formerly distributed by Grobet USA under the brand name Grobet Swiss.
