Simonds 84337000 Knife File Swiss Rectangular No 00 Double Cut tool storage

Simonds Knife File Swiss Pattern Double Cut

The Simonds 84337000 is a Swiss-pattern knife file designed for precision metalworking. Its wedge-shaped profile tapers to a point, allowing access to narrow slots and tight corners. The double-cut faces and single-cut edges provide smooth material removal on aluminum, brass, bronze, steel and tin. It is a rigid hand tool suited for bench work and fine detailing.

Suitable for machinists

This file suits professionals and hobbyists who require a rigid, tapered tool for slot work and intricate shaping across non-ferrous and ferrous metals. The smooth cut leaves a fine surface ready for polishing. It is not intended for heavy stock removal or rapid grinding tasks. Buyers needing coarse aggressive cutting or powered file compatibility should look at alternative tool types.

Six-inch length with three cutting edges

The file body measures six inches without the tang and offers a half-inch width at the base. Three cutting edges — two faces and one edge — give multiple working surfaces before the tool requires cleaning. The smooth double-cut pattern handles finishing passes comfortably but runs out of bite on thick welds or hardened tool steel. Its rigid construction resists flex during controlled hand pressure.
