steven85 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Hope this works, and some may enjoy, it's a small film showing knives being hand made, still in Sheffield, and the traditional sheffield way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennC Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 thanks for that, and right at the end of the film when it showed the staff, it was nice to see a young lad working there, so hopefully those tremendous skills will not die out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes as I stated it is Wostenhome 'machine' knives. They are not hand knives. They make blades for all kinds of machines. Progress I suppose.

The trade mark was took over by Egginton bros in the Early 1980's along with Joseph Rodgers & Sons and George Ibberson & co, in the film that's me making the knives and making the Bowie knife which is Stamped George Wostenholm & sons to the exact Wostenholm, pattern and original acid etch along the blade.
