Made from the finest heat-tempered chrome alloy steel, they deliver the right feel, action, and balance demanded by serious craftsmen. These files perform superbly on all metals. Formerly distributed by Grobet USA under the Grobet Swiss name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eValtitan Half-Round File\u003c\/strong\u003e takes performance further with a special treatment that increases hardness to 72 HRc on the Rockwell scale — the hardest steel file known. This process also makes the file corrosion resistant, extends its working life, and resists metal accumulation in the teeth: a simple knock is typically enough to clear chips. Valtitan files are especially recommended for platinum and other hard metals such as stainless steel, but they perform excellently across all metals. Note: starting 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\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the standard-size half-round file, tapered in both width and thickness and coming to a rounded point.
