- In this episode of Sheffield Makes, we visit Steven Cocker, a cutler who uses traditional methods to make knives, here in Sheffield.
Steven shows us through the processes involved in the construction of knives, with an in-depth look at his studio. He talks about how the trade was passed down to him by generations of cutlers before him, and what he hopes for its future.

Wish I had the skills, lovely to watch 👏
Brilliant stuff!
So pleasing to see it done as the Old Masters did it ! Brilliant.
Wow! Brilliant, amazing, awesome, so cool, and everything else.
Thanks Martin
Glad you enjoyed it!
... Beautiful work properly done.
Absolutely fantastic video, absolutely love it thank you so much for making this ,love everything Steven stands for 👊
What a delightful watch! This may be my new favourite video regarding cutlery production.
The entire process is beautiful. Everything down to the cutting-out of the shield is captivating. It's wonderful watching these raw materials be turned into something so gorgeous!
I am of the same mindset, traditional cutlery is a fading art form. So I salute you for dedicating your skills to preserving it. Lord knows I'm trying to keep the interest alive, despite not actually making knives!
Again, this was a lovely documentary and I would *love* to get my hands on one of Mr. Cocker's knives!
Cheers!
Such a well produced video. Job well done. Videography is superb.
Great video! Shared on my channel. I’m so glad you made this. There are very few records of how the knife makers of even 50 years ago actually did things. Your video really reminds me of the Stan Shaw one on here. It’s 22minutes of pure joy!
Incidentally, your video is exactly the sort of thing I want to see. It’s clear and illustrative of what you do to make a knife, it’s well made, but not ‘arty’. Although it might give away a few trade secrets, I’d really love to see a long form video of the full process. It might increase the competition, but I doubt it would trouble your business!
I’ve currently only four of your knives. All are excellent and entirely coincidentally one of them features in my video today!
Thanks!
Fantastic video.
I love it
That pattern book is amazing. Nice work 👍
A life lived well.
I hope he get an apprentice to pass the skills onto
Annoying music......so loud it's difficult to hear the voiceover.....so stopped viewing.
