Most types of Files & Rasps come in 3 different Cut Grades: 1) Bastard, 2) Second Cut, and 3) Smooth. These are the official standard technical names.

For every size, by established International Standards, each has different teeth sizes and densities, etc., removes a different amount of material and leaves a different surface finish.

Our Bellota Product Strategy is based on offering to Professional Farriers:

1. 3 distinctive Rasp cuts,

2. each combined with 2 different File cuts, one Smooth

3. a complete set of additional Specialty Rasps: Large sizes, Mini, Finish, Double-Enders, etc.

More specifically:

a. BASTARD or “Most Aggressive” – Razor(+) & Raptor(+), in Higher Grade steel. With a Higher Carbon contents, the special Bellota steel results harder after quenching, and the rasps lasts longer.

b. SECOND CUT or “Very Aggressive” - Top Sharp, featuring significant IMPROVEMENTS in production Quality and Consistency, resulting in PRO+ performance and durability.

c. SMOOTH or “Aggressive” - Top Level & Prime Level, in the very popular NEW FORMAT (10% wider and 10% thinner) offering the best PRO+ performance and durability.
