Hello

Reg makes the bowie knives but his output is very low as he is nearly 80 now.  The output of Reg and Trevor is decreasing but Bowie knifes like the one above are made by John Maleham. I have some on the web site http://www.sheffield-gb.com

I am trying to buy vintage examples of Sheffield folding knives but they are hard to come by except for the fruit knives

An excellent example of old school Sheffield Cutlery. We believe more will have interest as craftsmanship returns. We have a group established for the purpose of recognizing what this area has produced in the past and hopefully will produce in the future: http://www.iknifecollector.com/group/sheffield-cutlery

Trevor Ablett died 2 years ago, A very huge loss for the Little Mester knife makers, I have been a fan of his knives for years and own quite a few!

I think most if not all remaining knives have sold out, But if you can get one or eBay far and few between, You will love the handmade quality!

Trevor Ablett and his handmade pocket and folding knives in his workshop in Sheffield, England. Trevor Ablett has now sadly died and this is the last of his traditional Sheffield made pocket knives

Tony,

Thank you.  I did not know he had passed.  I also am a fan of his work and have a number of them in the safe.  The quality is spectacular and each one is a custom work.
