American Pattern Warding
A popular file with locksmiths, the Warding file was designed for filing or repairing "wards" in licks and keys. As the Warding file is thin, it is also suited for any application where the space is too narrow for other files to fit. This file tapers toward the end. Double cut on top and bottom but single cut on the edges. Swiss made.
