Twin Blade Gentleman’s Folding Pocket Knife by Stan Shaw

Twin Blade Gentleman’s Folding Pocket Knife by Stan Shaw

A master’s touch in your pocket

This twin blade gentleman’s folding pocket knife is a rare piece of living history, hand-made by the late, great Stan Shaw. If you know his name, you already understand the value. If you don’t, here’s the short version: Stan Shaw was Sheffield’s last great traditional cutler. His work was all hand-finished. No shortcuts. No factory line. Just one man, in a workshop, doing things the old way—and doing them better than anyone else.

Crafted with dark horn scales, this knife shows the quiet confidence of a true craftsman. You can feel the weight of it in hand, balanced and deliberate. The twin blades open smoothly and hold their edge like you’d expect from something stamped “S. Shaw.” That stamp matters. It's not just a mark—it’s a signature, a guarantee, and a legacy all in one.

Designed for use. Built to last. Collected for a reason.

This isn’t a display piece that sits in a drawer. It’s a fully functioning gentleman’s folder, perfect for pocket carry, but made with the kind of care that collectors hunt for. The blades fold neatly into a slim profile, the dark horn scales give it a timeless look, and the action is tight but smooth.

You’ll notice it’s different the moment you hold it. Not flashy. Just honest craftsmanship from a man who could build a knife start to finish—something that almost no one can do today. That’s what makes this one special.

Why collectors chase knives like this:

• Hand-built by legendary Sheffield cutler Stan Shaw

• Features natural dark horn scales with rich colour and texture

• Twin blade design for everyday functionality and elegance

• Stamped with the maker’s mark “S. Shaw” for authenticity

• A rare and valuable example of traditional English knife making

This is more than a pocket knife. It’s one of the last of its kind.
