favorite round or square file brand

[Chris Zautner]

Vallorbe straight cut 10 inch files are my choice of files.

Can someone post a link to the vallorbe files? Too dang expensive to order the wrong ones. They sure are proud...

Exactly...can someone point met in the right direction, please!

I like the save edge round and double bevel files have used a lot of different round files and found them to work best but the double bevel I have only used the save edge so far.

I tried to order files from autotoolworld
And didn't have any luck.... They were on back order for months and never did come in so they cancelled my order.

Bump.... Im a lazy guy that just needs a link to click on and buy...

Those are single bevel and not double bevel. I feel ripped off buying those.

Thanks for the replying guys!


I'm going to give mltools.com a try. Hopefully be ordering next week.

Bigger edge for side plate. Plus you can turn them over for complete flat edge to work on top plate only.

I found a source in Canada willing to order the Vallorbe 10020-2271-8 files. They are very proud of these items, just wondering what you guys paid in the States for them when you got them.

@mdavlee or others ?

The straight across double bevel I paid $120/10 or 12

I can't post a picture from the office but yes the straight across double bevel.

They're not cheap. $12-14 each down here.

Once taxes and freight factored in almost $30CDN ea. Must order in multiples of 12 and 4 to 6 week wait...

One box of 12 would be 1/4 of a Symington...

That's crazy.

That's crazy.

That's what I was thinking...

Something jacked up shipping costs from the USA to Canada about a year ago, but I haven't been able to Google the reason. Anyhow, a US$ 72.00 bar and chain order from Left Coast cost $56 in freight. Then I had the GST (Federal Gouge and Screw Tax) and PST (Provincial Sales Tax) to pay on delivery. Kind of turned a good deal sour.
