FILES
Grobet Files
Since the year of its founding in 1811 the Swiss company GROBET has been setting the standard for quality in the production of precision files.  Although these files were originally developed for watch makers they are exceptionally well-suited for woodworking, also.  The workmanship and edge-holding ability of their cuts are of superb quality.
