SETTING THE STANDARDS
In 1864 Hiram Wild, a young Sheffield knife grinder, saved the life of a local landowner’s son by rescuing him from the Sheffield flood. His bravery was rewarded with a gift of £200 to enable Hiram to set up his own business in the Parish of Hallam.

THE MANUFACTURING PROCESSES OF TABLE CUTLERY Spoons and Forks
Hollow Handle Knives
All spoons and forks are stamped out from rolled sheet whether the material be stainless steel, nickel or sterling silver.The outline blanks are pressed out two at a time leaving a webbing which is recycled. In the case of spoons the bowl area is rolled twice to provide enough material to stamp and form a pleasant usable thickness.The handle design is then stamped in between a top and bottom die. In the case of spoons, the bowls are stamped and clipped whereas the forks are pierced once for nickel and silver and twice for stainless steel to form the prongs.
Knives with separate handles have as many as 60 processes in manufacturing the complete article.The blade is hot forged from bar and the bolster is formed under a hammer between dies and the blade is rolled to the correct thickness. Both ends are then clipped to form the final shape.The handles like the spoon and fork are stamped from rolled sheet but from a thinner gauge.The pattern is pressed into a single half and after clipping the waste away, they are ed together in a furnace.The blade and the handle continue to be processed separately as the blade has each cutting surface individually ground and the bolster and back ground before rumbling, glazing and polishing.The handle is pressure tested, edged, glazed and polished and like spoons and forks, if nickel, is silver plated.The handle and blade are ed together with a cement that is inert and enables our knives to withstand any weight or twist tests that comply with all international standards including ISO 9002.
All items are then edged and the prongs are shaped prior to polishing. Sterling silver cutlery has special attention during all processes but particularly in polishing. Stainless steel is simply polished then cleaned and inspected whereas nickel goes on to be silver plated before final finishing and inspection. Thickness of plate is variable dependant on the amount of the time the article is submersed in the plating vat.
The blades are etched with the appropriate brand name and whetted as part of their final processes before cleaning, inspecting and wrapping. Monobloc Knives These one piece knives are made from the same stainless bar as blades.They are forged in one piece under powerful drop hammers with a blow force of 2,200 tonnes, in just two hits preform and coin.The remainder of the processes follow the blade progression.

In the case of spoons the bowl area is rolled twice to provide enough material to stamp and form a pleasant usable thickness.The handle design is then stamped in between a top and bottom die. In the case of spoons, the bowls are stamped and clipped whereas the forks are pierced once for nickel and silver and twice for stainless steel to form the prongs.
