Only the flat side is cut — the back is safe — making it ideal for controlled filing work where protecting adjacent surfaces matters. At 180mm (7-1\/8\") overall length, with a working face measuring 5.4mm wide by 2.0mm thick, this file is sized for detailed bench work on fine metalwork and hard alloys alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlardon-Vallorbe Swiss-made Precision Files are the world's standard for quality and performance. Manufactured to precise production standards through a combination of machine cutting and hand craftsmanship, they are made from the finest heat-tempered chrome alloy steel — delivering the right feel, action, and balance demanded by true craftsmen. These files provide superior performance across all metals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValtitan is Glardon-Vallorbe's proprietary treatment that increases file hardness to 72 HRc on the Rockwell scale — the hardest steel file available. This treatment makes Valtitan files corrosion resistant, longer lasting, and highly resistant to metal loading in the teeth; a simple knock is usually enough to clear chips. Valtitan files are especially recommended for platinum and other hard metals such as stainless steel, but perform exceptionally well on all metals. Note: beginning in 2016, Valtitan files are no longer produced with yellow-painted tangs — the factory now imprints \u003cem\u003eVALTITAN\u003c\/em\u003e directly on the tang for identification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarrette profile — tapered in width and thickness to a rounded point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-cut on flat face only; back is safe (uncut)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValtitan treatment raises hardness to 72 HRc — the hardest steel file available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrosion resistant and highly resistant to metal loading in teeth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended for platinum and hard metals; excellent on all metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVALTITAN imprinted on tang for easy identification (post-2016)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwiss Made to precise production standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\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\u003eFile Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e180mm (7-1\/8\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWorking Face Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.4mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWorking Face Thickness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.0mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProfile\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBarrette — tapered width and thickness, rounded point\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCut Faces\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlat face only; safe back\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeat-tempered chrome alloy steel with Valtitan treatment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHardness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e72 HRc (Rockwell)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCut Grade Scale\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e00 (coarsest) to 6 (finest); higher number = finer cut\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\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\u003e131.411\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 – Coarse\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e131.412\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 – Medium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNotes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlardon-Vallorbe Valtitan Needle Files are measured from tip to end of handle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot all needle file shapes are available in all cuts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValtitan files are no longer produced with yellow-painted tangs as of 2016; look for the \u003cem\u003eVALTITAN\u003c\/em\u003e imprint on the tang.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Glardon-Vallorbe","offers":[{"title":"0 Coarse","offer_id":43700646346966,"sku":"131.411","price":21.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Medium","offer_id":47807182307542,"sku":"131.412","price":21.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9832\/0342\/files\/glardon-vallorbe-valtitan-barrette-needle-files-lav2411-180-otto-frei-1.jpg?v=1719955268","url":"https:\/\/www.ottofrei.com\/products\/glardon-vallorbe-valtitan-barrette-needle-files-180mm-lav2411","provider":"Otto Frei","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
