Crafted from the finest heat-tempered chrome alloy steel, they deliver the right feel, action, and balance demanded by true craftsmen — performing superbly on all metals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eValtitan\u003c\/strong\u003e line takes precision a step further. Specially treated to achieve 72 HRc on the Rockwell scale — the hardest steel file known — Valtitan files offer superior performance on difficult-to-file surfaces, enhanced corrosion resistance, and exceptional longevity. The treatment also resists metal accumulation in the teeth; a simple knock is typically enough to clear chips. Valtitan files are the go-to choice for platinum work and other hard metals such as stainless steel, while performing equally well on softer alloys. Beginning in 2016, the factory discontinued yellow-painted tangs and now imprints \u003cem\u003eVALTITAN\u003c\/em\u003e directly on the tang to identify these files.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese \u003cstrong\u003eSquare Needle Files\u003c\/strong\u003e are tapered in both width and thickness, ending in a rounded point, with all sides cut. Glardon-Vallorbe needle files are measured from tip to end of handle and are graded from 00 (coarsest) to 6 (finest) — the higher the number, the finer the cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValtitan treatment achieves 72 HRc — the hardest steel file available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuperior performance on platinum, stainless steel, and all hard metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrosion resistant and longer lasting than standard needle files\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResists metal loading — chips clear with a simple knock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare profile tapered in width and thickness to a rounded point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll four sides are cut for versatile filing action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine cut and hand-finished to precise production standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVALTITAN imprinted on tang for easy identification (post-2016)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in three cuts: 00 Extra Coarse, 0 Coarse, and 2 Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSquare\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 in (180 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProfile\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTapered in width and thickness, rounded point, all sides cut\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeat-tempered chrome alloy steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHardness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e72 HRc (Rockwell scale)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGrading Scale\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e00 (coarsest) – 6 (finest)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSwiss Made\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\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\u003e131.425\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e00 Extra Coarse\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e131.426\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 Coarse\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e131.427\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 Medium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Glardon-Vallorbe","offers":[{"title":"00 Extra Coarse","offer_id":43701449261270,"sku":"131.425","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0 Coarse","offer_id":47807182962902,"sku":"131.426","price":23.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Medium","offer_id":47807182995670,"sku":"131.427","price":23.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9832\/0342\/files\/glardon-vallorbe-valtitan-square-needle-files-lav2408-180-otto-frei-1.jpg?v=1719955264","url":"https:\/\/www.ottofrei.com\/products\/glardon-vallorbe-valtitan-square-needle-files-180mm-lav2408","provider":"Otto Frei","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
