APEX TOOL GROUP SWISS PATTERN BARRETTE FILE

The APEX TOOL GROUP Swiss Pattern Barrette File is a specialized precision file designed for intricate fitting and finishing work in confined areas. Its unique barrette profile makes it especially useful for gunsmiths, machinists, engravers, and toolmakers who need to file up to sharp corners, work around dovetails, and refine slots without risking damage to adjacent surfaces.

The file features a single working face with double-cut teeth, while the back and both edges are intentionally left safe (toothless). This design allows precise material removal on one surface while protecting neighboring surfaces from unintended cutting. The safe edges are additionally beveled at a 33° angle, making the file particularly effective for dovetail fitting, precision slots, and other close-tolerance work.

Tapering from its maximum width to a narrow point, the Swiss Pattern Barrette File provides excellent access to tight spaces where conventional flat files cannot reach, making it a valuable addition to any professional gunsmithing or metalworking toolkit.
