The knife profile features a sharp edge along the narrow taper, making it well-suited for filing into corners and V-shaped recesses that standard flat or round files cannot reach. The file body is constructed from steel and measures 12 inches in working length with an overall length of 14.5 inches. Markings are hard stamped directly into the file for lasting identification. This tool is sold without a handle and is intended for professional use by tradespeople who supply their own handle or prefer bare tangs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 07085N is used across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical trades wherever metal fitting and deburring work is required. The knife file excels at cleaning up burrs in conduit knockout edges, sharpening tool contact surfaces, fitting sheet metal tabs, and opening slots in steel and cast components. It is equally useful in fabrication shops, equipment rooms, and field service settings where precise hand-filing is part of routine work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBastard cut for moderate material removal with reasonable surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnife profile with sharp edge for accessing V-grooves and tight inside corners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12-inch file length suits most bench and field filing tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.23-inch width and 0.256-inch thickness provide a rigid, low-flex body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard-stamped marking style ensures grade and cut identification stays legible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard bastard-cut knife file suitable for general hand-filing applications across metal fabrication, mechanical service, and trade work wherever a knife-profile file is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA licensed or experienced tradesperson should always secure the workpiece firmly in a vise or clamp before filing to prevent movement. A file handle should be fitted to the tang before use to protect the hand and improve control. File only on the forward stroke and lift on the return to preserve cut teeth. Keep the file clean with a file card or brush to prevent pinning and maintain cutting efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bastard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sharp Edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.23 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.256 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarking Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hard Stamped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandled\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.7 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: APEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 07085N\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346960875826,"sku":"07085N","price":211.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310536351.jpg?v=1782095244","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/apex-07085n-knife-file-bastard-cut-12-inch-sharp-edge","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
