Joan,
An interesting one in the BM which can be seen on COMPASS (http://www.thebritishmuseum.ac.uk/compass - search for 'Sheffield'). There may well be more in our collections but COMPASS only covers a fraction. Our medieval and Modern Europe department may have more.
Regards,

Can anyone help ?
I am working on a funding bid relating to Sheffield knife
manufacture, 16th-19th centuries.
Has anyone out there got any Sheffield-made knives in their
collections, or English knives of unknown make ? I am trying to
identify as many Sheffield-made knives as possible - in public and
private collections.
