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: |

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. |
