Needle Files
Tapered Knife
The small tip allows precise work in tight spots. These files do not include a handle but do have a tang that fits into a handle. Length does not include the tang.
Knife files get into tight angles, corners, and slots.
Double Cut—Surface has two sets of diagonal teeth and is often used with heavier pressure than single cut for rapid material removal.
Single Cut—Surface has one set of diagonal teeth and is often used with light pressure to slowly remove material and sharpen tool-cutting surfaces.
