Made from the finest heat-tempered chrome alloy steel, they deliver the right feel, action, and balance that true craftsmen demand. These files perform superbly on all metals. Formerly distributed by Grobet USA under the brand name Grobet Swiss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eValtitan\u003c\/strong\u003e series 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 Valtitan files corrosion resistant, longer lasting, and resistant to metal accumulation in the teeth; a simple knock is usually enough to clear chips. Valtitan files are the preferred choice for platinum and other hard metals like stainless steel, while working equally well across all metals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese are \u003cstrong\u003eValtitan Pillar Needle Files\u003c\/strong\u003e (also known as Flat Equalling), parallel in both width and thickness with all sides cut.
