Showcasing Sheffield Craftsmanship at Blade Show Atlanta 2026

This June, we’re proud to be heading to Blade Show Atlanta 2026, one of the world’s most celebrated gatherings of knife makers, collectors, and enthusiasts. It’s an event that brings together heritage, innovation, and a shared passion for craftsmanship, and we’re excited to present a selection of our finest handmade knives.

Each piece we’re bringing tells a story—of Sheffield’s rich knife-making legacy, of traditional methods preserved, and of materials carefully chosen for both beauty and performance.

A Tradition Carried in Steel

At the heart of our collection is a commitment to traditional craftsmanship. Every knife is lovingly ground, assembled, and finished by hand by skilled Sheffield makers, ensuring that no two pieces are ever quite the same.

From mirror-polished blades to natural handle materials, these knives are designed not only to perform but to be admired, whether in the field or as part of a collection.

The Three-Bladed Stockman: Practical Heritage

One of the standout pieces we’ll be showcasing is the classic three-bladed Stockman knife. Originally designed for livestock farmers, this versatile tool features a clip point blade, a castrator blade, and a lambsfoot blade, each serving a distinct purpose.

Crafted from polished stainless steel and fitted with traditional materials like stag horn or dark oak, this knife blends utility with timeless design. It’s a true reflection of functional craftsmanship, built for everyday use while honouring centuries-old traditions.

The Bowie Knife: An Icon Reimagined

Few knives carry the legacy of the Bowie. Our 10-inch Bowie knife is a tribute to that history, forged in Sheffield using traditional methods and original dies.

With its bold clip-point blade, hand-finished carbon steel, and striking buffalo horn handle and the California guard, this knife embodies both power and elegance. Each handle reveals natural variations in tone, making every piece unique. It’s not just a knife, it’s a statement piece rooted in heritage.

The Gunstock Knife: A Distinctive Classic

Another highlight in our collection is the historic Gunstock knife, an original Wostenholm design dating back to the 1800s. This well-known historic pattern has been taken from the original George Wostenholm and Son pattern book from 1885, and is the first original pattern to be brought back by us bearing the I*XL trademark from the original archives. This piece showcases the enduring appeal of traditional patterns, brought to life using the same time-honoured techniques still practised in Sheffield today.

The spearpoint blade and inner workings are meticulously crocus polished, giving the knife a refined, high-quality finish. Its handle, crafted from stabilised poplar burr, features intricate natural grain patterns, ensuring that every knife is entirely unique. The distinctive shape and elegant detailing make the Gunstock both a practical tool and a collector’s favourite.

The Clip Point Pocket Knife: Everyday Precision

For those who appreciate a dependable everyday carry, the clip point pocket knife offers versatility in a refined form. Historically known as a “bunny” or skinner knife, it remains a practical choice for a wide range of tasks.

Featuring a precision-ground stainless steel blade and a hand-shaped dark oak handle, this knife combines durability with the warmth and character of natural materials. Compact, reliable, and beautifully finished—it’s an essential companion for daily use.

Designed to Be Seen, and Used

While these knives are undeniably striking, they are made to be used. Every detail, from the balance of the blade to the feel of the handle, has been considered to ensure performance matches appearance.

At Blade Show Atlanta, we’re looking forward to sharing these pieces in person, giving visitors the chance to experience the quality, weight, and craftsmanship that photos alone can’t fully capture.

Blade Show is more than an exhibition, it’s a celebration of craftsmanship and community. We’re excited to be part of it and to connect with fellow enthusiasts who appreciate the artistry behind every blade.

If you’re attending, we invite you to stop by, explore our collection, and discover what makes Sheffield-made knives so special.
