Vallorbe
Vallorbe make files, rasps and rifflers. Files are for metal working and we sell their needle files for saw teeth sharpening. Glardon is the premium Swiss made precision brand that sits under the Vallorbe umbrella.
Habilis brand denotes files and rasps with intergrated handles.
Valtitan brand denotes the Vallrobe super hard steel files.
Many years ago Mike Hancock from Classic Hand Tools worked with Vallorbe and tried to assist in the pruning of their machine made rasp range to a manageable level ( a very difficult task indeed) . Vallorbe were convinced then that they could develop an automated production technique that would produce rasps that rivalled the Auriou hand cut rasps from France. Interestingly they haven't yet achieved this goal but they do make very high quality rasps and we will revisit their range to see if we can start to build just a small range to offer our woodworking customers.
