Glardon-Vallorbe Swiss Made Warding Escapement Files - LE3016

Glardon-Vallorbe Swiss Made Warding Escapement Files feature square handles and are precision-crafted for watchmakers and jewelers who demand accuracy and longevity. Also called watchmakers files, these tools are measured from the tip to the end of the cut — the tang and handle are not included in the stated length. Warding files are parallel in thickness, tapered in width, and thin, making them ideal for fine detail work in tight spaces. Measurements given are at the thickest point.

Known internationally as Warding – Plana de punta – Entrée – Flachspitz, these files are manufactured to precise production standards using a combination of machine cutting and hand craftsmanship. Made from the finest heat-tempered chrome alloy steel, Glardon-Vallorbe files deliver superior performance on all metals with the right feel, action, and balance desired by skilled craftsmen.
