Swiss made Glardon Vallorbe® Knife Escapement files have square handles.
Escapement file lengths are measured from tip to the end of the cut and do not include the tang. Escapement files are also called Watchmakers files.
Knife files are tapered in width and thickness, but the knife edge has the same thickness from point to shoulder. They are cut on both sides.
Can be used to file in a slot or wedge shaped opening. The curved knife edge allows for easily filing in restricted areas.
Measurements given are at the thickest point.
