Hiram Wild Ltd
Central Cutlery Works, Herries Road, Sheffield S6 1QU. England
In 1864 Hiram Wild, a young Sheffield knife grinder, saved
the life of a local landowners son by rescuing him from the
Sheffield flood. His bravery was rewarded with a gift of
200 to enable Hiram to set up his own business in the
Parish of Hallam.
Today, with over 130 years experience and technical
innovation, Hiram Wild Ltd has become Britains largest
producer of Sheffield made knife blades as well as Sheffield
silver plated and stainless steel cutlery.
Sheffield is the home of stainless steel since Harry Brearley,
a metallurgist at Thomas Firth & Sons in Sheffield
developed a steel that did not rust.This new invention was
described as stainless steel.The method of mixing
chromium with steel came about through experiments by
Brearley whilst producing gun barrels that would not
corrode.
Stainless steel was first used in the manufacture of Sheffieldcutlery in the early 1920s and became the first cutlery in
the world to be stainless. To this day Hiram Wild
manufactures cutlery marked Firth Stainless Made in
Sheffield England.
Having established an international reputation for technical
expertise and quality, Hiram Wild Ltd also leads the way,
with emphasis on innovative design. No matter what your
requirements Hiram Wild have the styles, patterns
accessories and blanks to meet your needs.Whether its
cutlery for the home, restaurant, hotel, local authority,
promotional campaign or a bespoke tailored solution,
Hiram Wild have the right product at the right price.

THE MANUFACTURING
PROCESSES OF TABLECUTLERYSpoons and Forks
All spoons and forks are stamped out from rolledsheet whether the material be stainless steel, nickel orsterling silver.The outline blanks are pressed out two
at a time leaving a webbing which is recycled. In thecase of spoons the bowl area is rolled twice to
provide enough material to stamp and form apleasant usable thickness.The handle design is thenstamped in between a top and bottom die. In the
case of spoons, the bowls are stamped and clippedwhereas the forks are pierced once for nickel andsilver and twice for stainless steel to form the prongs.
All items are then edged and the prongs are shapedprior to polishing. Sterling silver cutlery has special
attention during all processes but particularly in
polishing. Stainless steel is simply polished thencleaned and inspected whereas nickel goes on to be
silver plated before final finishing and inspection.Thickness of plate is variable dependant on theamount of the time the article is submersed in the
plating vat.
Hollow Handle Knives
Knives with separate handles have as many as 60processes in manufacturing the complete article.Theblade is hot forged from bar and the bolster is formed
under a hammer between dies and the blade is rolledto the correct thickness. Both ends are then clipped
to form the final shape. The handles like the spoonand fork are stamped from rolled sheet but from athinner gauge.The pattern is pressed into a single half
and after clipping the waste away, they are joinedtogether in a furnace.The blade and the handlecontinue to be processed separately as the blade has
each cutting surface individually ground and thebolster and back ground before rumbling, glazing andpolishing.The handle is pressure tested, edged, glazed
and polished and like spoons and forks, if nickel, is
silver plated.The handle and blade are joined togetherwith a cement that is inert and enables our knives to
withstand any weight or twist tests that comply withall international standards including ISO 9002.
The blades are etched with the appropriate brandname and whetted as part of their final processes
before cleaning, inspecting and wrapping.

CUTLERYCARE
Hand Washing
DO
Rinse, wash and dry after use-prolonged contact
with acids found in food residue and mineral salts
in water can attack the metal and cause pitting or
staining.
Take extra care with knives, the carbon content
reduces the stainless resistance of the blade.
Polish away any stains with a reputable silver
polish.
Wash silver cutlery separately from stainless steel.
Chemical reaction may cause discolouration.
Clean with silver cloth as sulphides in food, such
as eggs cause tarnish. Use a reputable silver dip or polish where
necessary if heavy tarnishing occurs.
Store in an air-tight container or Hiram Wilds
anti-tarnish rolls or canteens*
DO NOT
Leave soaking in water or damp after washing.
Use abrasive pads or harsh cleansing agents which
will scratch the surface be concerned when small
scratches appear.
Silver is a soft metal and marks easily but gradually
gains a fine, whitish patina.
