Grobet USA Square Needle Files are tapered on all four sides and cut on every face — usable all the way to the point for precise work in tight spaces and square profiles. These are the go-to needle files for jewelers, metalsmiths, and bench professionals who demand consistent performance and reliable geometry.
Beginning in 2015, Grobet needle files transitioned from Swiss manufacture to Italian production. If you require the original Swiss-made specification, Otto Frei carries an extensive selection of genuine Glardon-Vallorbe Swiss Made Square Needle Files (LA2408 / LAV2408) and Square Escapement Files (LE3020) in a wide variety of cuts and sizes. Glardon-Vallorbe is the original manufacturer of Swiss needle files — if your file is marked Swiss Made, it was made by Glardon-Vallorbe of Switzerland.
These Italian-made Grobet square needle files are available in multiple lengths and cuts. Not all cuts are available in all lengths. Needle file lengths are measured tip to tip, including the handle section (tang).
