Shape your leather creations with precision using this specialized Japanese metal file, made for smoothing sole edges and flat surfaces. Measuring approximately 18 cm in total length including the handle, it features a machine-cut grid pattern (crossed vertical and horizontal lines) on one side. This cross-hatched surface allows for controlled, even filing, giving your custom leather projects a refined finish.
This is a brand-new file, ready to earn its place in your workshop. Worth noting: craftsmen who make these filing tools by hand have become extremely rare in Japan today, so stock can be unpredictable once current supplies run out. If you work with leather, it's worth picking one up while it's still available.
