I will be traveling to Edinburgh and London in November and I'm looking for a knife maker in each city I could visit and purchase a knife from if possible. Any suggestions or knife makers on this forum?​

Knife-making is pretty small scale and far and few between in Britain these days so you might not be able to buy from makers just like that.

I suggest sending a message to Chui Chui he may be able to offer practical advice ?

Thanks, Will

Hello Marc

As Will Power Will Power suggests, folder makers in UK are fairly small scale.

We do have some, obviously, in Sheffield - the classic centre for historic knife making with a handful of folder makers still in existence - just Google, "pocket knife makers in Sheffield".

However, there will be a concentration of makers from all over, here on 02nd November (near Coventry):

Hello Chui,

I wish I was going to ne there for that, it sounds awesome! We will be in London for a few days and then in Helpston. So it doesn't look like we are very close to Sheffield. If we have time to stop there I definitely will. Thanks for the info!
