At 7 inches (180mm) in length, these files are sized for precise detail work at the bench. Available in Cut 0 Coarse and Cut 2 Medium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGlardon-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, they are made from the finest heat-tempered chrome alloy steel. The result is a file with the right feel, action, and balance demanded by true craftspeople — delivering superior performance on all metals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eValtitan files take that performance further. Specially treated to reach 72 HRc on the Rockwell scale, Valtitan is the hardest steel file known. This treatment also makes the files corrosion resistant, longer lasting, and highly resistant to metal loading — a simple knock is typically enough to clear chips from the teeth. Valtitan files are the preferred choice for platinum and other hard metals such as stainless steel, but perform exceptionally well 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 to identify them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriangular (three-square) cross-section tapering to a rounded point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll three sides are cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValtitan treatment achieves 72 HRc — the hardest steel file known\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrosion resistant and longer lasting than standard needle files\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResists metal loading; chips clear easily with a simple knock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended for platinum, stainless steel, and other hard metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerforms excellently on all metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTang imprinted with \u003cem\u003eVALTITAN\u003c\/em\u003e for easy identification\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\u003eThree-Square (triangular, all sides cut)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 inches (180mm), measured tip to end of handle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSteel\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\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 Grade\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCut Name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e131.423\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCoarse\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e131.424\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMedium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNotes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlardon-Vallorbe needle files are graded from 00 (coarsest) to 6 (finest) — the higher the number, the finer the cut.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot all needle file shapes are available in all cuts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength is measured from tip to end of handle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Glardon-Vallorbe","offers":[{"title":"0 Coarse","offer_id":43701449195734,"sku":"131.423","price":22.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Medium","offer_id":47807183028438,"sku":"131.424","price":22.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9832\/0342\/files\/glardon-vallorbe-valtitan-three-square-needle-files-lav2407-180-otto-frei-1.jpg?v=1719955264","url":"https:\/\/www.ottofrei.com\/products\/glardon-vallorbe-valtitan-three-square-needle-files-180mm-lav2407","provider":"Otto Frei","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
