KnifeMaker Comment by M. Carpenter on August 13, 2012 at 10:05: Your photography is very good. I use a light tent with colour balanced lighting and a pentax with a single arm tripod but do not shine on the blades -http://www.sheffield-gb.com

If you have time perhaps you could tell me how you do it. regards Malcolm

KnifeMaker Comment by M. Carpenter on August 12, 2012 at 11:39: This is a picture of Trevor Ablett in his workshop in Sheffield.

Comment by Jan Carter on August 12, 2012 at 4:24: Thanks for the update M., Trevors knives are pocket and user friendly..Also very nice looking

KnifeMaker Comment by M. Carpenter on August 12, 2012 at 4:09: I am not aware of any Olympic Games official knives in the field I deal in. The new knives are the ebony and snakewood handles. The snake wood with the hand file work are sold out but more in a couple of weeks. Trevor has a lower out put than he used to have and all the redwood handles have gone - the stock position on http://www.sheffield-gb.com is more or less up to date but with Trevor's knifes you should buy them whilst they are still being made.

KnifeMaker Comment by M. Carpenter on August 12, 2012 at 1:51: We have a new range with snakewood handles and ebony handles. The snakewood with hand file work has sold out but will shortly be available in different blade types some with hand file work and others without.

KnifeMaker Comment by M. Carpenter on August 12, 2012 at 1:45: A gentleman’s multi bladed pocket knife. The side plates on both sides are silver and hallmarked. The silver parts are hallmarked Q for 1899 with a Chester hallmark - not Sheffield Desormeaux Saunders & James Francis Hollings - Frank Shepherd. Not a Sheffield knife but worth looking at.
