Greetings and Happy New Year to every body. Below is an advertising knife for the Sheffield Steel works, It is not made in Sheffield and is probably French but it is well worth looking at as part of Sheffield history. It was sold as soon as I put it on the web site. Trevor Ablett is back in production following his broken wrist and Reg. Cooper is still after a lifetime in the trade turning out a few Bowie knifes. regards http://www.sheffield-gb.com Malcolm
Thanks for the info, very interesting.
Coming soon hopefully before Christmas are a number of Sheffield made bowie knives. Made by Reg Cooper who is now in his 80's after a lifetime in the trade. These will have 5 inch blades and will be considerably cheaper than his larger Bowies. htttp://www.sheffield-gb.com Trevor Ablett is getting back into production after his accident.
Following a lengthy struggle to obtain historic wood for knife scales the first of the knives has appeared. The wood for the knife comes from the teak decking originally used by the Royal Yacht Britannia. The ship was decommissioned from the Royal Navy several years ago and the surplus teak planking which had been carefully stored for over 50 years was disposed of and I managed to obtain a small quantity. We have produced a spearpoint with polished blade and a lambsfoot. Following this up will be knife scales from an old Cornish Yew Tree. The wood has been seasoned for over ten years and was the traditional wood used by the bowmen of England. The knives are on http://www.sheffield-gb.com
