Arthur Wright & Son Farmer's Sheepfoot Knife

Arthur Wright & Son Farmer's Sheepfoot Knife
£40.00
Ex Tax: £33.33

A Farmer's sheepfoot utility knife with a straight edge, similar to a lambfoot, but as it’s name might suggest with a deeper more square ended blade and which evolved as a hardwearing general purpose field knife. Handmade in Sheffield with brass linings, nickel bolsters, and walnut scales around a carbon steel blade by the company of A Wright & Sons cutlers and component suppliers who since 1947 have sought to maintain and revive the traditional skills and forms of this noble city.

This blade is made from carbon steel, which keeps a better edge than stainless, but will develop rust spots if left wet or kept damp and will naturally discolour in use — dry after use and oil regularly to keep it in good condition.


By purchasing this item you are confirming that you are over the age of 18, and that we may contact you prior to dispatch in order to verify this. Orders including any bladed items will incur an additional courier age verification charge and legally require delivery to persons aged 18 and over.

Care Advice

Hand wash only, and never leave soaking. Dry immediately, followed with a light coating of camellia or a mineral oil. Store in a dry environment to prevent rust formation. A sharp knife is a safe knife — use a honing rod to keep a fine edge, and sharpen with a stone when necessary.
  • Materials Walnut wood, brass, carbon steel, and nickel
