Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. 320 pages. Pictorial hardcover published without a dust jacket. For generations, Sheffield was the world's greatest cutlery centre, with a reputation based on its high-quality steel and a range of top-quality manufacturers. Of these none was more famous than the prod…uct with which Sheffield was virtually synonymous - the knife. The Sheffield Knife Book provides a comprehensiive history of the Sheffield knife industry, charting its medieval origins in village forges around the town, through its Victorian heyday - when it domiinated world knife manufacture - and then into more recent perioids of decline and contraction. Separate chapters look at Sheffield's industrial system in the 19th-Century heyday, the development of Sheffield's American trade, the city's reaction to foreighn competition, and the impact of two world wars and their aftermath. It describes the methods of Sheffield knife manufacture, looking in detail at various production stages: steelmaking, forging, grinding, polishing, haandle-making and final assembly. The most famous Sheffeld patterns are discussed and illustrated, including the Barlow knife, the Bowie, the pen-kniife, the sportsman's knife and many others. There are over 120 profiles of the leading Sheffield knife makers. This core section of the book provides case-studies of firms such as Wostenholm, Mappin, Rodgers, Butcher, Brookes & Crookes, with information on their histories, businessmen, trademarks, location and major products. It discusses ways of identifying and dating antique Sheffield knives and includes a list of places to visit. A detailed bibliography is also provided. An excellent and important reference. A Fine copy with modest use.
