The perfect file

If you are looking for the perfect file, then Aktiv Guld is the ideal place to be. With more than 10 different models, we can promise that the file you are looking for will also be in our range. Our range includes diamond files, which are a combination of diamond and aluminium, thus making it easy to obtain a smooth and attractive surface. With a service life of up to two years, this file can be your new tool for some considerable time. If, on the other hand, you are more interested in a complete diamond needle set, you can also find this in Aktiv Guld’s range. In this case, you get ten diamond files in different shapes that are all ideal for working with stones, ceramics or materials that have much greater hardness.

Thanks to Aktiv Guld’s extensive range, you are also covered regardless of the nature of the task at hand. With many files that have different shapes, it is only your imagination that defines the limits of your creative project. The cross-cut file from Vallorbe with its rounded sides and tapered width, thickness and tip is the perfect file to shape oval areas. The broad ring file, on the other hand, is ideal for filing of rings. Vallorbe is also the manufacturer of the mill file, which with single cut is ideal for all metals. If, on the other hand, you are on the lookout for files that are perfect for working with wax, wood or plastic, at Aktiv Guld we can also offer two different complete wax needle sets in which you can choose between five or six wax needle files in different shapes. In addition, Aktiv Guld has a wide range of jeweller’s files – in fact, no less than ten different files where you can also choose between different shapes such as knife, rectangular, flat, triangular and half-round. Jeweller’s files are ideal for very small areas, highly detailed work and file work that requires the removal of only tiny amounts of material.

At Aktiv Guld we highly recommend that you remember to clean your files. In our range you will also find several different brushes, including a file brush in steel with a wooden shaft which cleans and removes particles that clog the teeth on the file and thereby reduce the file’s effectiveness. Furthermore, we also recommend that you acquire filing canisters with strainers for fine grading, which are useful to have when waste has to be collected after the filing process.

With so many options offered by Aktiv Guld, it can be difficult to decide on the ideal tool. Aktiv Guld’s capable team is therefore at your disposal to answer your questions. Several of Aktiv Guld’s employees are specialists in tools, semi-manufacture and diamonds. We have more than 20 years’ experience and can therefore provide advice on the best buy. Moreover, we remain fully up to date on the latest techniques and products, thus ensuring that you receive the best advice. High levels of service also mean that we typically deliver from day-to-day, thus enabling you to take your creative ideas out into the world.

A good grip

Aktiv Guld also sells separate file handles that fit the different files. Here you can find file handles in wood, plastic and Bakelite. With file handles in Bakelite you can quickly and easily swap the different files by rotating the top with the external thread. In addition, this handle is very light and has a shape that makes filing work more comfortable. Indeed, comfort is one of the characteristics of all Aktiv Guld’s file handles, as a good grip during the working process is crucial. Aktiv Guld therefore has particular focus on ergonomics. With great passion for traditional skills and craftsmanship, we believe that working processes and conditions are prerequisites for being able to carry out high quality work.

In addition to traditional file handles, Aktiv Guld also sells handles that are manufactured from waterproof and degradable plastic. These handles are designed for flexible emery strips that are made of silicon and are ideal for use on rounded surfaces such as rings. With its round, abrasive granules, silicon is an ideal material for careful and effective polishing of materials. The handles for these emery strips can be purchased in two different sizes.
