Only the flat side of the barrette file is cut, leaving a safe edge and safe top. Measurements given are at the thickest point of the file.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGlardon-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, they are the most accurate, best cutting, and longest-lasting files available. Made from the finest heat-tempered chrome alloy steel, they deliver the right feel, action, and balance desired by true craftsmen — performing superbly on all metals. Formerly distributed by Grobet USA under the brand name Grobet Swiss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese Valtitan files are specially treated to reach 72 HRc on the Rockwell scale — the hardest steel file known. That extreme hardness translates to better performance on difficult-to-file surfaces, enhanced corrosion resistance, and exceptional longevity. Valtitan files also resist metal accumulation in the teeth; a simple knock is typically enough to clear chips. They are especially recommended for platinum and other hard metals such as stainless steel, but perform equally well across all metals. Starting in 2016, Valtitan files are no longer produced with yellow painted tangs — the factory now imprints \u003cstrong\u003eVALTITAN\u003c\/strong\u003e directly on the tang to identify them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardened to 72 HRc — the hardest steel file available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecially treated for corrosion resistance and extended file life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResists metal accumulation in teeth for easier cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended for platinum, stainless steel, and all hard metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarrette profile: tapered in width and thickness with a rounded point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnly the flat face is cut — safe edge and safe top for controlled filing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade from heat-tempered chrome alloy steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVALTITAN imprinted on tang for easy identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBarrette\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 inch (150 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWidth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\/8\" (15.5 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9\/64\" (3.5 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeat-tempered chrome alloy steel, Valtitan treated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHardness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e72 HRc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSwiss Made\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCut Grading Scale\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e00 (coarsest) – 6 (finest)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength Measurement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTeeth start to file end (tang not included)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Options\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePart #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCut\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e131.437\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 Medium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNotes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFile length is measured from the point where the teeth begin to the tip of the file — the tang is not included.
