Grobet Swiss Checkering File – 30 Lines per Inch

Precision Tool for Detail Work

The Grobet Swiss Checkering File is a precision-crafted tool designed for both professional gunsmiths and hobbyists who demand accurate, clean, and consistent results. With a cutting length of 6 inches and 30 lines per inch, this file allows you to create intricate grooves and detailed patterns quickly and efficiently. Moreover, it works perfectly on wood, metal, and other materials, making it versatile for multiple applications.

Unique Tooth Design for Superior Control

Unlike standard double-cut files, the teeth on this checkering file are aligned in straight rows instead of staggered. As a result, you can produce sharp, uniform serrations that enhance both aesthetics and functionality. Therefore, it is ideal for adding decorative checkering to firearm grips, knife handles, bezels, or furniture edges. Additionally, the straight teeth provide faster material removal without sacrificing precision, which makes every stroke more controlled and effective.

Safe and Ergonomic Design

The file features four parallel sides and a slightly tapered thickness. The top and bottom surfaces are double-cut for maximum cutting efficiency, while the sides remain uncut, or “safe,” to prevent accidental damage to surrounding areas. This thoughtful design allows you to work confidently on delicate detail work. Furthermore, the tapered sides provide better access in tight corners and curved surfaces, making it ideal for shaping contoured grips or intricate wood designs.

Durable and Long-Lasting Construction

Built to withstand frequent use, this Swiss checkering file maintains sharpness over time for consistent results. Its ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip, reducing fatigue during extended use. Whether you are refining a firearm stock, adding texture to a knife handle, or crafting decorative woodwork, this file delivers the control and accuracy needed for professional-grade results.
