Grobet USA Italian Made Flat Hand Precision Files

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

Features

• Parallel in width, tapered in thickness — classic Flat Hand (Pillar) geometry
• Double-cut faces for efficient stock removal and controlled shaping
• One single-cut edge for directional edge work
• One safe edge (no teeth) to protect adjacent surfaces when filing to a shoulder
• Available in four lengths and up to seven cut grades per length
• Swiss-pattern sizing and cut standards; manufactured in Italy since 2015

Available Options

Not all cut grades are available in every length. See the table above for specific combinations.

Notes

• Swiss-pattern vs. Swiss Made: Swiss-pattern describes the shape, sizing, and cut standards established in Switzerland — it does not indicate Swiss manufacture. Grobet USA Swiss-pattern files have been made in Italy since 2015. If you require genuine Swiss-made files, look for Glardon-Vallorbe files marked "Swiss Made."
• Use a proper file handle on the tang for control and safety (sold separately).
• Chalk the file and clean regularly with a file card to minimize pinning.
• Apply pressure on the push stroke; lift on the return to preserve the teeth.
• Use the safe edge when filing to a shoulder to protect adjacent surfaces.
