Simonds 4 in Knife File

The Simonds 73499500 is a 4 in American pattern knife file with a smooth double cut on the face and a single cut on the edge. It is made for shaping and finishing aluminum, brass, bronze, steel and tin in workshops and garages.

Sustained filing performance

The rigid rectangular profile tapers toward the point and holds its 74, 76, 92 or 95 teeth per inch during extended use. The natural finish resists loading so the smooth cut keeps producing a fine surface without frequent cleaning.

Practical limits of the hand file format

Three cut edges and a 5/64 in thickness restrict the file to work that fits its width and reach. It cannot replace powered abrasives for heavy stock removal or access tight internal corners that a knife profile cannot enter.

Questions about this item

Does the 74–95 teeth-per-inch double-cut pattern on the 73499500 file generate noticeable heat during extended use on steel?

The smooth double-cut teeth at 74–95 TPI remove material cleanly with light pressure, so heat build-up stays minimal even during long sessions on steel.

What handle must I supply to use the 73499500 knife file safely?

The file ships without a handle; you need a standard tang-fitting file handle that accepts a 4 in blade.

Will the 5/64 in thick, 7/16 in wide tapered blade of the 73499500 fit the same tool roll slots as my older 4 in mill files?

Its rectangular profile and taper toward the point match traditional 4 in American-pattern dimensions, so it slides into the same slots.
