Hi, Karl.

Like Shing, I grew up in Sunny Sheffield. I even made a very miserable living selling steel for a couple of years

I saw. How do you like it? I've been thinking of getting one, but I've got to keep some spare cash for a couple of folders ( :wink: )

Karl,

Do you have contact details for Stan Shaw, I read a book about him and interested in getting one of his creations, by the way are there still knifemakers resident at the Kellam Island Museum?

There was one still working in Kelham Island up until recently. My folks got me a little sleeveboard knife from him. The spring is not flat, though; I think they just took the only knife he had on the day. I need to dismantle it, flatten the spring and re-assemble it, but I'll leave that until I'm a bit better at rivetting.

I think Graham Clayton might have a workshop in there...

All the industrial museums in Sheffield have been handed over from the City Council to Sheffield Industrial Museums Trust, a not-for-profit organisation that also runs Shepherd Wheel and Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet.
