The new print was hand printed during the 1st lockdown 2020, with a batch of rare cutlery blocks which have not seen ink, since having been used to print catalogues for the (John) I. Wilson Sycamore Street Sheffield, firm of cutlers (1892-1919). within the batch of knives are several other knives from a handful of other firms, which represent mergers and acquisitions by the Wilson firm, including ‘Lockwood Brothers’ Joseph Eilliot and Sons. A block depicting a knife by I and J Barber is also included in composition.

If you are interested in the history of sheffield knives/metal, some great further-informative reading here;
