Simonds 73501000 Knife File

The Simonds 73501000 is a six‑inch American‑pattern knife file with a smooth double‑cut face and single‑cut edges. It is designed for shaping and finishing aluminium, brass, bronze, steel and tin in workshop and garage environments.

Build integration

The rectangular profile tapers toward the point, allowing access to narrow slots and acute angles. Its rigid body and natural finish require no additional mounting hardware and fit standard tool‑box compartments or wall‑mounted holders.

Ideal user

This file suits metalworkers, hobbyists and maintenance technicians who need a precise hand tool for fine material removal. Buyers requiring coarse stock removal or files for non‑metallic materials should consider other patterns.

Questions about this item

How long will the 6 in blade hold its edge on hardened steel before it needs re-cutting?

The knife file has a rigid rectangular profile with a smooth double-cut face and single-cut edge, giving 54 to 73 teeth per inch for controlled stock removal on hardened steel.

Does the file get hot or vibrate enough to tire the hand during a full day of bench work?

The natural finish and 7/64 in thickness keep the tool cool and stable; the rigid taper towards the point reduces vibration during extended filing sessions.

What handle or tang adapter must I already have to mount this 6 in knife file?

The file is supplied without a handle; a standard tang-fit wooden or plastic handle sized for a 6 in American-pattern file is required before use.
