The Crescent Nicholson 21854 Round Bastard File is a high-performance hand tool designed for precision filing of circular openings, concave surfaces, and tight slots. This 10-inch American pattern file features a round cross-section with single-cut teeth running in diagonal rows, providing controlled material removal and a smoother finish compared to double-cut files.

Crafted from durable carbon steel, the file is built to withstand heavy use in metalworking, woodworking, and general maintenance tasks. Its bastard cut grade offers a medium-coarse texture, ideal for shaping and smoothing surfaces without excessive abrasion. The file tapers slightly toward the point, allowing for better access in confined areas, and includes a safe point to reduce the risk of injury during use.
