Hand ground carbon steel with beechwood handles. These are from old unused stock at the the A Wright works in Sheffield England and were old stock in 1996 when Michael Harrison started at A Wright. These are a great example of old style Sheffield craft which like other old knife making towns relied on the combined efforts of many separate dedicated craftspeople. These were finished ground and handled at A Wright with forging being done offsite in Sheffield. 

The A. Wright & Son company was established in 1947, and is now a father and son team dedicated to traditional style knife production in their Sheffield workshop mainly focusing on folding knives and old style fixed blade knives.

New Old Stock, Vintage and New Vintage knives do not come sharpened. Please request sharpening if desired in the order notes section of the cart page.

This is a carbon steel knife. Carbon steel is expected to develop a dark patina with use. It needs to be hand washed and towel dried soon after use. Do not air dry. Do not put it in the dishwasher. Long exposure to moisture and debris will result in rust. Any rust development should be removed with a light abrasive.

Use on a quality wooden cutting board will help the knife stay sharper for longer. Use on hard surfaces like plates and bamboo will reduce the edge life and can result in edge damage.

We recommend hand sharpening on whetstones. We have found that most western knives perform best with a medium finish starting around 1000 grit. Avoid pull through sharpeners and non-water cooled mechanized sharpening. Steel honing rods work well with this knife.
