Twin Blade Gentleman’s Folding Pocket Knife by Stan Shaw

Twin Blade Gentleman’s Folding Pocket Knife by Stan Shaw

A knife that carries legacy

This twin blade gentleman’s folding pocket knife is a rare piece—it’s a piece of working history. Handcrafted by Stan Shaw, the last of Sheffield’s legendary “little mesters,” this antler-scaled beauty is marked “S. Shaw,” and that mark means everything to collectors who know their steel.

Stan didn’t just make knives. He crafted them with a level of skill that bordered on obsession. Each piece came out of his hands—not a factory—after hours of grinding, hafting, and hand-finishing. He worked alone, in old workshops filled with the scent of oil and bone dust, keeping alive traditions nearly every other maker had left behind.

You’re not just buying a knife. You’re investing in the soul of Sheffield cutlery, wrapped up in polished antler and sharpened into twin blades that are as functional as they are refined.

What makes this knife matter

• Made by Stan Shaw, a master cutler recognized with a British Empire Medal for his contribution to British heritage

• Genuine antler scales give it a classic, organic feel no synthetic can match

• Dual-blade design offers versatility without compromising form

• Signed S. Shaw, a mark of authenticity and unmatched craftsmanship

• Ideal for collectors, enthusiasts, and anyone who understands that true quality is never mass-produced

Precision meets heritage
This knife isn’t flashy, and that’s exactly the point. It’s sharp, understated, and built to last generations—just like Stan’s reputation. Whether you’re collecting, gifting, or carrying, it brings with it the quiet power of tradition done right.

Final cut
Stan Shaw knives are getting harder to find, and examples like this—antler-scaled, twin-bladed, and stamped by the man himself—are especially scarce. If you know the value of handmade Sheffield steel, you’ll know exactly what this is: the real thing.
