For procurement managers, F&B directors, and head chefs, Sheffield-forged knives represent more than a place of manufacture. They embody over 400 years of craftsmanship, quality, and performance that continue to set the benchmark for professional restaurant cutlery.

A Heritage of Excellence since 1624

The reputation of Sheffield cutlery is rooted in centuries of expertise. Since the formation of the Cutlers’ Company of Hallamshire in 1624, Sheffield has been synonymous with precision knife-making and uncompromising quality standards.

Today, this heritage remains highly valued by hospitality professionals seeking reliability, durability, and exceptional presentation.

Hand-Finished for Professional Performance

Every Tricketts of Sheffield knife is made of special martensitic stainless steel individually fully ground, hand-polished, and hand-sharpened before undergoing rigorous quality controlled inspection.

This meticulous finishing process delivers:

Superior edge retention

Consistent cutting performance

Exceptional balance and handling

A refined finish designed for demanding hospitality environments

Unlike mass-produced alternatives, hand-finished Sheffield knives are crafted to perform day after day in professional service.

Trusted by Leading Hospitality Venues

Chimo supplies hand-finished cutlery to renowned restaurants and institutions, including Hawksmoor, Dante New York, Dante Mayfair at Claridge’s, Quaglino’s London, and the historic Cutlers’ Hall Sheffield.
