Sheffield has a long heritage of making fine cutlery and tools. It's the reason we still have saw makers here (despite the fact their products cost 10x a mass produced version) and why there's a Master Cutler of the city.
A lot of that heritage has been lost but there's still a place in the market for fine hand made things.
You probably own some Sheffield cutlery somewhere.
