10" Vallorbe 1/2 Round Thin Cabinet Rasp RA 1559 10-6
Vallorbe® make a bewildering array of files and they also make a bewildering array of rasps for woodworking, enough to confuse the average brain (yes, worse than the French in our humble opinion). Anyway, whilst not quite reaching the magic of Auriou Toolworks, their premium machine made rasps are extremely good tools for shaping wood. The regularity of tooth height and density is very good.

French Leather Working Knife
A cut above one's usual leatherworkers/bookbinders paring knives this French made tool has a bubinga handle and a brass ferrule. We know it is French as we liberated it from the factory from where it was made. We then forgot about it (and the rest of the stock) until we started our massive sort out this week.
The edge is still sealed.
The curved edge is 50mm long.
