Description

Product Overview

The Grobet Swiss Pattern Hand File is engineered for precision work where accuracy and surface finish are paramount. Constructed from heat‑tempered chrome alloy steel, the file provides a perfect balance of hardness and flexibility, allowing it to maintain a sharp cutting edge even after extensive use. Its 6 inch (152 mm) cut length offers ample surface area for both broad and detailed filing tasks, while the parallel width and tapered thickness deliver consistent material removal across the entire length.

Each file incorporates a double‑cut top and bottom, a single‑cut edge for safe handling, and a specially treated safe edge that reduces the risk of accidental injury. The steel composition is heat‑tempered to achieve a hardness rating that resists wear, ensuring the file retains its cutting performance over the long term.
