Subject pretty much says it all. How do you pronounce the word pfeil? feel? puh-feel? file? ratatouille?

Thanks.

[Shannon]

I believe it is pronounced "File" - but would not be surprised to see someone correct me!

[mdallensr]

Ditto "file". The p is silent, like the p in swimming. Mike

I can THIRD that. The only way I have ever heard it is "File".

[Donald K. Mertz]

"File" is the pronounciation and I think it translates "arrow" thus the symbol of an arrow below the "sweep number." Some just call them "Swiss Made" so either way people know what you are talking about.

[doris]

i am native german, and swiss people speak german too, so i can assure you it is pronounced like "file" and translates as donald said to "arrow"

[Just Carving]

It is pronounced file, and it does translate as "arrow"
The Pfeil tools are marked with an arrow.
