Sheffield Knives by Trevor Ablett

Trevor Ablett in his workshop in Sheffield

Trevor Ablett and Reg Cooper have making knives for over fifty years. They served apprenticeships in the trade in Sheffield and between them have seen the craft artisan based approach change beyond recognition. They have kept the traditions alive and are still producing quality products in the same way they always did. Because the knives are produced with natural materials the handles will differ from those in the illustrations. The Buffalo handles range from very light to dark and we cannot supply handles to particular colour specifications. They are truly little mesters as the independent artisans in the Sheffield knife and cutlery trade were known. All the Sheffield knives below are premier range craft items made personally by Trevor Ablett. The Ettrick knives made by Trevor Ablet have the beautiful shaped serpentine handle and as such have a very nice feel when used. Each blade has a traditional name and you can see the shape of the blade from the photographs. To see Trevor Ablett’s knives just keep scrolling down the page.

These are the perfect penknives, immaculately produced in Sheffield, England with traditional blade types dating back centuries and made by one of the last surviving craftsmen still practicing his art after probably fifty years in the trade. They are a pleasure to own and are tribute to a fast fading tradition of the proud craftsmanship which epitomized the Sheffield cutlery trade. The origins of these knives date from the time when Sheffield's craftsmen would have their worked smashed on the steps of the Guildhall if it did not meet the exacting standards required. Each of Trevor Ablett’s knives has a distinct quality. Whilst the stag handles are distinctive the redwood handles give a very distinguished ‘posh’ look to the knives. And having bought one some buyers go on to buying several.
