Vallorbe double bevel is my favorite, i get them through Piltz on ebay. They leave the best finish and last the longest. My second favorite are the viiala from piltz also.

Bahco would be my next choice, then pferd and save edge.
How much each?

Preliminary feeler looks positive on the vallorbe's, though they weren't too thrilled about shipping and said it would be at least $20 per order. Not a big deal on a bunch of them and worth it to me to not have to drive a couple hours.
Price is suspiciously good, like substantially less than abolox/bahco, if I didn't have some in hand already I'd be questioning whether they're the real deal. They come six per box and the place usually only has a box or so on hand so quantities would need to be pre ordered. They are also not sure how many are available from their distributor, I need to get back to them with an estimate on quantity. Might take a while...

I don't want to scare these guys off with a flood of orders and don't want people ordering based on my info and have something go wrong so for now would rather just do one transaction and see how it goes.
I'd be willing to put up funds to get maybe 50 or 100 of them but don't really want to become the long term clearing house for these and be dealing with a bunch of small $ transactions/shipping them all over.

Lets try to keep this low key for now and within the usual participants of this thread, in other words, don't scare me off either.
If things go smoothly I'll 'go public' with contact info.

So who's interested and for how many? (bracing myself, lol).

I would be willing to distribute these if you are not.

If we can get a big order out, I will ship orders to people. I would put as many in a flat rate padded envelope that would fit, I think they are 7 bucks.

Do you have an approximate price for 1 file Bill?

One file... Really? A buck for the file and $20 shipping, lol.

I don’t want to quote a price until things get a little further along and I’m sure it’s correct but I can say with some certainty you will be happy with it. Closer to the price of round files than most square...

I might take you up on that if it gets out of hand.

Just asking. Because I was working on this from a different angle. Just trying to get a general idea on cost...
No problem.

I’d take a box just to have on the shelf. I really have no idea how many I have left[emoji2359]

Wonder if this place can get some Vallorbe's shipped in. They are in Wisconsin.


I contacted them. They do not have any double chisel bit files in stock and their minimum order is like 500 or 1000 dozen. They are a wholesaler. Only sell to dealers.
They are checking into these though. I'll let you know.
Explains why there are no more left in the USA as they are the only Distributor for Vallorbe. Also why the businesses that do have them have jacked their prices up.
