Cutlery Manufacture
Sheffield is the spiritual home of the cutlery industry and has been at the very heart of most of the development, design and manufacture of cutlery for the best part of the last thousand years.
The first recorded mention of Sheffield cutlery was in 1340 as part of an inventory of King Edward III’s possessions at the Tower of London.
Through a continuous programme of investment and acquisition, Carrs have established themselves as the UK’s premier manufacturer of fine quality cutlery and the largest supplier of cutlery blanks to many other silverware companies. We now have access to one of the most comprehensive catalogues of cutlery patterns to be found anywhere in Europe.
Even in today’s technological world, there are many elements to the production of Carrs cutlery that demand high levels of craftsmanship and painstaking care and attention to detail, befitting a product of quality and elegance which are testimony to the heritage of cutlery manufacture in Sheffield.
