Caption:
The 'little mesters' who still exist in Sheffield with surprising resilience, despite the formidable difficulties facing the cutlery trade because of fierce foriegn competition, are the successors of workers in Nineteenth century independent cottage industries. The Grinders in the Sheffield cutlery trade form an important bridge between the hand blade forgers and the cutlers who fit the knives together. There is still constant demand for the specialised item, for that extra quality of craftsmanship.
