I need a set of Jeweler's files. These will see weekly use on soft steel.

Any recommendations? This is for my business, so I don't mind paying more for a good set.

Thanks,
Tony.

I have these ones at work.

Grobet. Swiss made. They are pricey which is why I used to shop Ebay.

You might also look at German made Pferd as they are same quality and prices. I love cutting metal with files. Dig the Pferd Corinox line.

Wait - some of those round ones are hundreds of $?
Wow.

Grobet. I've had a bunch of their needle files and rifflers for over forty years. I expect them to last the rest of my days in great condition. I'm very particular about such things and would rather file than almost anything else in the world.

Yes but, if benny6 needed to break out of a jail cell..

I would buy the Grobet files. The price and quality assure they never get misused or misplaced.

Vallorbe swiss® files are excellent.

Looks like I got the last set in stock.

I think these are Made in Italy and distributed by ARTCo, American Rotary Tool. The old Swiss Made sets show up occasionally for sale on Ebay. Also, the original Swiss Made will have Switzerland text on each file. You should be good with this set you bought.
