Grobet USA Swiss Pattern 6-1/4" Knife Needle File – Cut 2

Designed for precise filing of tight angles, narrow grooves, and detailed components, this Grobet USA Swiss Pattern knife needle file features a thin, wedge-shaped profile that provides excellent control in areas where larger files cannot easily reach.

The knife profile tapers in both width and thickness toward the point, with a narrow edge that is particularly useful for working into sharp corners, V-shaped grooves, and angular openings. Its precision-cut working surfaces allow controlled material removal when shaping and refining small metal components.

Measuring 6-1/4" (160mm) overall with a 3" cutting portion, this file provides a practical balance of reach and control. Cut 2 offers a medium cutting action suited for general-purpose precision filing and surface refinement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a knife needle file used for?

A knife needle file is designed for precise filing in tight angles, V-shaped grooves, narrow openings, and detailed areas where a wider file would be difficult to use.

What makes the knife profile different from other needle files?

The knife profile has a thin, wedge-shaped cross-section that narrows toward a fine edge. This makes it particularly useful for working into angular openings and sharp internal corners.

What does Cut 2 mean?

Cut 2 provides a medium cutting action that balances material removal with surface refinement. It is a versatile choice for general-purpose precision filing.
