ChrisLBren Posted October 3, 2020 #1 Posted October 3, 2020 Group - I order number 14 needle rasps kit back in August - handmade and stitched. They arrived last week - wow - I can not recommend them highly enough. I corresponded directly with the owner/artist Noel - during the manufacturing process. They are not cheap but will last a lifetime if taken care of. Here's his site. https://www.liogier-france.fr/ Charles Green, mtaylor and druxey 3 Quote
druxey Posted October 4, 2020 #2 Posted October 4, 2020 I agree that hand-stitched French rasps are amazing. I've had two Auriou rasps for many years. They are expensive but far out-perform any commercial mass-produced tool. mtaylor 1 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv
Charles Green Posted October 4, 2020 #3 Posted October 4, 2020 And I thought I knew about files and rasps. Between Corradi, Nicholson and Grobet, plus a few other makers, I've got over 200 files and rasps and rifflers. Now Liogier. This makes me pause. mtaylor 1 Quote

Maury S Posted October 4, 2020 #5 Posted October 4, 2020 I just watched a video of the Auriou factory making rasps BY HAND. Amazing.
