It charts its medieval origins in village forges around the town through its Victorian heyday—when it dominated world knife manufacture to its recent decline and contraction. It describes the methods of Sheffield knife manufacture, looking in detail at the various production stages. There are profiles of Sheffield's leading knife manufacturers including firms such as Wostenholms, Mappins, Rodgers and many others - 120 in total. It discusses ways of identifying and dating antique Sheffield knives, now very collectable, and includes places to visit.
