The Pferd machinist pillar hand file has a rectangular shape with double-cut Swiss pattern teeth on both sides for precision smoothing and shaping of straight surfaces on stainless steel and exotic alloys. The file's width is narrower than standard hand files for more precise work. It has double-cut Swiss pattern teeth on each side for finishing, sharpening, and deburring, and no teeth on either edge to protect adjacent surfaces. The tang can be used with an optional handle for secure gripping (sold separately).
Hand files are used to remove material and smooth and shape workpieces. They have forward-facing cutting teeth and cut when pushed over either a stationary or rotating workpiece. Single-cut teeth are single rows cut diagonally across the width of the file. Double-cut teeth have two sets of rows cut in opposite directions. American pattern files have three coarseness grades. Coarse, also known as bastard cut, is suitable for efficient, heavy material removal where finish is not a concern. Medium, also known as second cut, offers average material removal and finish quality. Fine, also known as smooth cut, provides the smoothest finish. Swiss pattern files have eight coarseness grades, from 00 (coarse), 0 (medium), and 1 to 6 (fine to finest), offering a smoother finish than equivalent American pattern files. For Swiss pattern files the length of the tool is the length of the blade, not counting the tang, which is the pointed end fitted for a handle; for American pattern files the length of the tool is its entire length, including the tang.
Pferd manufactures abrasives and cutting tools for grinding, finishing, and cutting. The company, founded in 1799 in Germany, has its U.S. headquarters in Leominster, MA. It meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001.

La qualità si paga ma questa lima è eccezionale.

Die Feile an sich ist gut verarbeitet und ist auch, wie erwartet standfest, wenn man Edelstahl bearbeitet. Leider ist die Feile auf Grund der Härte von Edelstahl auch keine Wunderwaffe, Man muss schon ordentlich feilen. Ein Stern Abzug gibt es allerdings dafür, dass der Hersteller die Feile nur ohne Griff (Heft) anbietet und man diesen einzeln nicht zu bezahlbaren Preisen findet. Und 10 Griffe waren mir dann zu teuer für eine Feile. Ich habe dann einen herkömmlichen Holzgriff mit bestellt, was auch einwandfrei funktionierte.

Die Corinox-Feilen sind gefühlt teuer, aber dafür perfekt gearbeitet. Sie lassen sich gut handeln und führen zu einem wirklich guten Arbeitsergebnis selbst bei Edelstahl und BiMetall.Trotz hohem Preis eine klare Empfehlung.

Since Nicholson is no longer made in the USA, I sought another source for top quality hand files. I certainly did find it! Pferd hand files are made in Germany. And each of their files I have purchased here are Amazon have been superb.The old names that were synonymous with quality such as Simonds for example, are now synonymous with cheap imports. Nicholson has some of their files made in the Asian subcontinent, with their better ones made in South America.Pferd files do cost more than cheap imports, but if you use them properly and keep them clean, they will last so long, they will actually be a bargain!

Very durable stainless steel file. The #2 cut was a finer than what I was expecting, more suited for finish work than stock removal. However, if you're patient, can still take away a fair amount of material. I ordered half-round #0 cut as well, a versatile combination.

great quality file. I used it to file down a stainless steel strike plate for a door that was not closing correctly.
