Horn cutters

Caption:

The horn trade grew alongside the cutlery trade in suplying it with material for knife handles and 'scales' or coverings for pen and pocket knives. English oxen and cattle would have provided Sheffield craftsmen with horn even in Chaucer's day. Bernard Whiting and Harry Scarlett, formerly of Rocking Street, Sheffield were the last of the industry's horn cutters in the city. Their raw materials would include two types of buffalo horn.
