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.

Joseph Rodgers Knives have a proud legacy dating back to the early 1700s. Like many of Sheffield’s historic cutlery firms, their early history is a little unclear. It’s believed that a cutler named Joseph or John Rodgers operated out of a building in Hawley Croft—close to the location of Sheffield’s present-day cathedral. In 1730, his sons Maurice and Joseph took over.
Rodgers focused on producing the finest quality Joseph Rodgers Knives, prioritising excellence in both materials and workmanship. Each knife was branded with the iconic Star and Cross as a mark of quality. So respected was the brand that “Rujjus”—a variation of “Rodgers”—entered the Sinhalese dialect as a term for something of outstanding quality.
