Swiss Pillar Files &
Checkering Files All Files are double cut (cross cut) unless
otherwise noted
Pillar files are rectangular
cross cut files. They're thicker (relative to their width) than other flat
files and have a cut surface only on top and bottom (not sides). They taper
in thickness (thicker at tang and thinner at end). Available in 5 different
types of width and edge, cross cut. Diagrams below:
extra narrow
narrow pillar
demi-narrow
regular pillar
rd. edge pillar
Checkering files are parallel in width and gently tapered
in thickness. Overcut is parallel to the file edges and upcut is
90° to overcut. Useful for putting serrations on knife edges and
to obtain a checkered design similar to a gun handgrip.
Valtitan Regular Pillar Files- For platinum, stainless steel,
exotic plastics and other hard to file materials.
The hardest surface known- Rockwell hardness 72HRc. Best
performance on hard-to-file surfaces. Cut 0 has blunt end. Cut 2 has
pointed end.
Little or no clogging, a simple
knock is enough to remove the chips. Highly resistant to corrosion.
