Value Collection 73-50400- Knife File 10 Inches Double Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 73-50400- is an American-pattern knife file designed for precision material removal in tight angles and narrow slots. At 10 inches in length and 0.25 inches thick, this double-cut smooth file delivers controlled stock removal on metals, plastics, and similar materials. The tapered knife profile allows access to V-grooves, notches, and recessed areas where standard flat or round files cannot reach. It ships with a tang for use with a compatible file handle. Tradespeople including machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians rely on this profile for deburring, sharpening, and fine finishing work on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This knife file is suited for bench work and field maintenance applications where accurate edge dressing is required. The double-cut tooth pattern on both faces accelerates material removal while the smooth coarseness grade leaves a refined finish. Typical uses include cleaning up weld seams, refining saw teeth, dressing mating surfaces, and removing burrs from cut pipe or sheet metal edges. The standard American pattern geometry makes it a staple in trade toolboxes across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service environments.

Installation Notes

Attach a properly sized file handle to the tang before use to maintain control and protect the hand. Always push the file forward on the cutting stroke and lift on the return stroke to preserve tooth life. Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp before filing to prevent movement. Wear appropriate eye protection when filing metal to guard against dislodged particles.
