Glardon-Vallorbe Crossing Precision Files - LP1960

A crossing file works curved and concave surfaces at the bench: it is half-round on two sides, with one side carrying a larger radius than the other, and it tapers in both width and thickness. Measurements given are at the thickest point of the file, and each file is supplied with a tang only, with no handle.

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 deliver the most accurate, best-cutting, and longest-lasting performance available. Crafted from the finest heat-tempered chrome alloy steel, they offer the right feel, action, and balance demanded by true craftsmen, and they perform on all metals. Formerly distributed by Grobet USA under the brand name Grobet Swiss.
