SO-SCM-2008-9780764326936-X4 The Heritage of English Knives by David Hayden-Wright ISBN:9780764326936 Book Title:The Heritage of English Knives Author:David Hayden-Wright Binding:Hard Cover with dust jacket Copyright:2008 Pages:330 Size:9.25 x 12.38 in. This is the preeminent reference on antique English knives, written by one of Great Britain's most respected 20th century authorities on weaponry. The text contains much previously unknown historical information about cutlers and their art. Chapters and over 300 color photographs and hand-drawn illustrations cover the earliest history of Sheffield, England, a directory of 19th century cutlers' names, and many groups and types of knives, from the most humble penknife to magnificent exhibition pieces. The history of the famous American designed Bowie knife, manufactured extensively in Sheffield, is explained and amply illustrated. Discussions present multi-bladed sportsmen's pocket knives, farrier's, smoker's, quill knives, curiosities, and actual knives presented to King George IV in 1821. These appear along with a veritable kaliedoscope of craftsmanship. Quoting from the author's Acknowledgements, "Sheffield's legacy is not just in the tangible dust-covered records or faded photographs rescued from destruction, but in the living art form of their craft that endures and remains the symbol of what was the centre of the cutlery world for well over a hundred years." 301 color + 20 b/w photos (SO Schiffer Categorical generated 2024-12-27) 8dfe3cb255c8c9db8d6adf9256d511b1
