Description

The Glardon-Vallorbe Swiss Made Half-Round Slim Precision File (LP1566) is designed specifically for filing inside rings and other curved interior surfaces. Tapered in both width and thickness to a point, these slim-profile files are narrower than standard half-round files, allowing access to tight interior curves that wider files cannot reach. Cut on both sides, they provide versatile filing action on flat and curved surfaces simultaneously. Measurements listed reflect the thickest point of each file.

Glardon-Vallorbe is the sole manufacturer of files in Switzerland. Every file bearing the Swiss Made designation is a Glardon-Vallorbe file. Note that since 2015, Grobet is no longer the U.S. distributor of Swiss Made files — current Grobet files are manufactured in Italy.

File length is measured from where the teeth begin to the end of the file, not including the tang. For example, a 6" precision file measures approximately 8½" from tip to end of tang. Cut grades range from 000 (extra extra coarse) to 6 (finest) — the higher the number, the finer the cut.

Cannot Beat Glardon Vallorbe Files

You cannot find another file brand that matches the superb quality and craftsmanship of these guys. Maybe you could 50 years ago, but not today. Sadly, most American and Swiss file companies that once were a pinnacle of steel workmanship the world over, no longer exist or have offshored their manufacturing process to locations lacking the means, tooling or knowledge needed to craft such files. There’s only a tiny handful of companies that are reliably still cutting their files using the older die-cut process (which results in a superior cut quality) - Glardon Vallorbe being seemingly the lone survivor carrying that torch. They’re pricey, but my guess is that companies of this standard are not long for this world. Buy once, cry once - so long as you take care of your files and only cut metals lower in hardness than the file itself (~65rh)
