Trevor Ablett is one of the few remaining craftsman knife makers in Sheffield - termed a "Little Mester" locally. Although he has passed his normal retirement age, Trevor has declared his intention of continuing to produce his hand-made pocket knife range which we make available to you via this web site.

These 100% Sheffield-made pocket knives come in a variety of styles and have handles made of Rosewood or imported Buffalo Horn. The knife blades are carbon steel and fold away safely for true pocket knife portability. A range of knife blade shapes can be ordered: Lambfoot, Farmer's, Pruner and Clip Point.

The pocket knife handles are single- or double-bolstered in brass depending on your choice. Pocket knives measure approx 3.5 inches in length for ease of carriage, storage and use (blade measurement includes the portion of the knife blade that incorporates the hinge inside the bolstered section; the cutting surface length will be shorter and, we understand, is within the legal permit to be carried by responsible persons under the age of 18). Each pocket knife comes with a certificate of authenticity from Trevor Ablett. Presentation boxes for these pocket knives can be ordered for a small extra cost and make for a nice way of giving someone a gift.

Pocket knives are perfect to own. Ideal and thoughtful gifts for him or for her. Suitable for country life, gardening, hobbies, crafts and a thousand and one uses. A pocket knife is a great product that is hand made and a lasting souvenir of Sheffield, the traditional home of knife making.

CARBON STEEL
Carbon steel is not stainless steel but it can be kept bright and shiny with care. You should avoid leaving your knife to stand in a wet condition. Certain corrosive liquids can cause staining e.g. if you use a knife to cut an apple, the acid in the apple juice will cause tarnishing. Always clean your knife after use, and store in a dry location. Carbon steel has an advantage over normal stainless steel in that they can be produced with very sharp blades.

MATERIALS USED
Please note that all materials used to make these knives are genuine, not artificial. Some sites we have seen offer goods with plastic or synthetic handles. Only genuine materials can be found here.

Hi Robert
just to let you know that the knife arrived safe & sound this morning.

Dear Mr Day,
Just to let you know the knife arrived today and it is just what I wanted.
I am sure my husband will be delighted with the gift.
Regards. JG

Dear Robert,
Thank you for my knife. I am delighted with it. One thing, I rounded the right angled part of the blate which displaces the spring upon pulling the knife open. I found this made the knife easier to open using a pinching between finger and thumb rather than using the nail notch. Perhaps you might want to pass that on. Again many thanks.
Regards.

Hi Robert,
I received my knife yesterday. It came in the morning. I am very happy with it and glad I waited.
I can't believe how well it is finished considering the time it must take. I really wish I had a genuine need to use it and rely on it, as I am sure it would never let me down.
I am going to sharpen it and use it wherever I can (and buy another to keep boxed for my collection).
If you see him, tell him some fella was really happy and proud to own one of his knives.
thanks again
