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. These files deliver superior performance on all metals. Formerly distributed by Grobet USA under the brand name Grobet Swiss.
Crossing files are half-round on two sides, with one side having a larger radius than the other. They are tapered in both width and thickness. Measurements given are at the thickest point of the file.
