 The Coat of Arms The Company Home Page



When the Company of Cutlers in Hallamshire was incorporated by an Act of Parliament in 1624, the local cutlery industry in Sheffield was already over three centuries old. The Act of Incorporation gave the Company jurisdiction over

'...all persons using to make Knives, Blades, Scissers, Sheeres, Sickles, Cutlery wares and all other wares and manufacture made or wrought of yron and steele, dwelling or inhabiting within the said Lordship and Liberty of Hallamshire, or within six miles compasse of the same....'

For almost four hundred years, the Company has maintained the standing of Sheffield's metal-related industries, both at home and abroad.
