Pattern
There are two types of patterns for hand files: American pattern and Swiss pattern (for precision files). American pattern files have three levels of coarseness: coarse (also called bastard), medium (also called second), and fine (also called smooth). Swiss pattern files have a coarseness rating that starts at #00 (coarsest) on a scale, and goes up to #6 (finest).
