Anyone with an interest in Sheffield-made cutlery is welcome to join this group. Feel free to share your photos, ask questions and provide information related to the knives and cutlers of Sheffield.
Cool group! Understanding the knives and companies making knives in Sheffield is key to understanding the traditional pocket knives as we know them today.
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. More pictures on sheffield-gb.com
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.
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.

Welcome Ron. That's a beautiful knife. Thanks for posting it here. This is another Ablett knife. I like his knives and they are reasonably priced IMO.
