From the 1700s, Sheffield England, was the centre of cutlery blade making.
Now these items are mass-produced and the traditional cutlery making industry is
no more.
The cutlery trade was very much hands -on work in those days, with little or
no machinery and everything hand forged. The cutler's hammer was the ideal tool
for the job, evolving over the years into a highly specialised tool.
Cutler's hammers are still available today and can be hand forged in
whichever weight you require.
