Sheffield was already noted for its knife production in the 14th century, as mentioned in Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales. By the early 17th Century it had become the main centre of cutlery manufacture in England outside of London, overseen by the Company of Cutlers in Hallamshire. During the 19th century, Sheffield gained an international reputation for its steel production. Many innovations were developed locally, including crucible and stainless steel.
Sheffield knives are renowned for their high quality and durability.
