The Double-cut Escapement file has double cuts on top and bottom, with one single-cut edge and one safe edge. Hand files are parallel in width and gently tapered in thickness for flat filing. The handle section (tang) isn't included in the file length.

Swiss Pattern Precision Files are made to exacting standards, using machine cutting and hand craftsmanship for accuracy and durability. They're crafted from heat-tempered chrome alloy steel, offering the right balance and feel for craftsmen. File selection depends on metal type, material removal needs, and finish desired. Rapid stock removal might need a Cut 0 file, while narrow surfaces may require cut 2, and fine cuts like 4 or 6 are for finishing.
