Controlled shaping and smooth surface preparation require a file that balances efficiency with precision. The Flat File, Second Cut features a medium single-cut pattern that removes material evenly while producing a finer finish than a bastard file. Its flat, consistent surface is ideal for sharpening edges, fitting components, and refining metal or wood surfaces with accuracy. Constructed from hardened steel, it offers excellent durability and wear resistance in marine and industrial environments. Comfortable and well-balanced in hand, it provides reliable control for detailed finishing where consistency and surface quality matter most.
