Egginton Sheffield Made 7.5″ Shepherd Steel Helical Cut W/ Crossbar

Sheffield is synonymous with steel and is the historic birthplace of knife making. In Sheffield the word ‘cutlery’ refers to ‘that which cuts’. For more than 700 years, Sheffield knives and cutlery have been created by highly skilled Sheffield craftsmen, and our company names are amongst the most famous in the industry’s history. The first reference to a Sheffield cutler dates to 1297. In the 1370s, Chaucer described a Sheffield ‘thwitel’ (a straight wooden-handled knife) on the belt of a Miller in The Reeve’s Tale.

We have been manufacturing Sharpening Steels since 1872 and are a leading supplier to the butchery, food processing and catering industries.
