Grobet USA Italian Made Flat Hand Precision Files

Italian made (since 2015). Grobet Swiss-pattern* Flat Hand (Pillar) Precision Files — also called Hand or Pillar files and similar to Equalling files — are general-purpose files for flat work. They are parallel in width, tapered in thickness, double-cut on the faces, with one edge single-cut and one edge safe (no teeth) for working up to a shoulder without marring.

Swiss Pattern vs. Swiss Made*

Swiss-pattern describes the shapes/sizing/cut standards established in Switzerland. It does not guarantee Swiss manufacture. Grobet’s Swiss-pattern precision files have been made in Italy since 2015. If you require genuine Swiss-made precision files, they are sold under the Glardon-Vallorbe brand and will be marked “Swiss Made” with the UMV fish logo.

Tips for Best Results

• Use a proper file handle on the tang (sold separately) for control and safety.
• Chalk the file and clean with a file card to reduce pinning.
• Cut on the push stroke; lift on the return to preserve the teeth.
• Use the safe edge to work up to a shoulder without marking adjacent surfaces.
