Handcrafted riffler files and radius files from Liogier

For over 100 years, LIOGIER has been manufacturing high-quality hand-cut rasps in the Auvergne region of France. At times, it was one of the largest manufacturers in Europe for these tools, but virtually unknown outside of France.

Hand-cut rasps differ significantly from machine-cut ones. The material removal is considerably higher with surprisingly good surface quality thanks to the ultra-sharp irregularly cut teeth.

LIOGIER produces only on demand. Therefore, we always have a selection of their rasps in stock to supply you immediately.

Rasps are designed for working on hard-to-reach areas. There are 8 models available, each with 2 different shapes out of a total of 13 different shapes.

The cuts of the Liogier rasps are numbered from No. 1 to No. 15, with No. 1 being the coarsest and No. 15 the finest. Rasps are available with cuts 8 to 15, with cuts 11 to 13 being the most common in practice.

After the heat treatment, the rasps are cleaned and individually inspected. After a rust protection treatment, the tool is finally finished and ready for the attachment of the handle and packaging.
