Simonds Knife File Swiss Pattern
The Simonds 84340500 Knife File is a Swiss pattern hand tool designed for precision shaping in tight spaces. Its wedge section profile fits into slots and narrow recesses where broader files cannot reach. The rigid body and natural finish suit metalworkers, jewellers and hobbyists who need controlled material removal on aluminium, brass, bronze, steel and tin.
Sustained filing performance
The double-cut face and single-cut edges deliver a smooth cut action that resists loading during extended use on non-ferrous and ferrous metals. The rigid construction prevents flex when pressure is applied along the 8 in length, maintaining consistent tooth engagement. This steadiness helps maintain surface quality over long sessions without the file wandering or skipping across the workpiece.
Check your workspace and task
Verify that the 7/8 in width and 13/64 in thickness suit the slot dimensions you intend to file. The taper towards the point requires enough clearance for the handle section to move freely. Confirm that a smooth cut finish matches the surface requirement, as coarser grades would remove material faster but leave a rougher texture.
