Twin Blade Gentleman’s Folding Pocket Knife by Stan Shaw

Rare Twin Blade Gentleman’s Pocket Knife by Stan Shaw – A Legacy in Your Hand

Crafted by a legend. Rarer by the day.

A Stan Shaw pocket knife—it’s a piece of history forged by the last of the great Sheffield cutlers. Stan Shaw (1926–2021) dedicated nearly eight decades to the craft. Every knife he made was done by hand, start to finish, with precision, pride, and a deep respect for tradition. Now that he’s gone, each knife he left behind has become something more than collectible: it’s irreplaceable.

Made with polished dark horn scales and fitted with twin blades, this gentleman’s folding knife carries the hallmarks of Shaw’s signature style—clean, functional, elegant, and deeply personal. The “S. Shaw” stamp is a  symbol of Sheffield’s proud cutlery heritage, and one man’s relentless commitment to doing things the right way, even when the world moved on.

A true original. No replacements. No second runs.

Stan Shaw didn’t mass produce. He worked alone, with hand tools, in a modest workshop. By the end of his life, his order book was full for years—and when he passed in 2021, the line ended with him. That’s why a Stan Shaw pocket knife like this is so sought after. There are no more coming. No apprentices. No factory. Just what he made—meticulously and entirely by hand.

Whether you’re a collector, a craftsman, or someone who appreciates work done right, this knife offers something almost extinct in today’s world: true authenticity.

Key reasons to own this rare piece:

• Handcrafted entirely by the late Stan Shaw—no two are the same

• Features richly figured dark horn scales and twin blades

• Marked with “S. Shaw,” a symbol of British cutlery mastery

• Rare due to the maker’s passing—no further knives will be made

• A true heirloom from the last of Sheffield’s traditional cutlers

When you own a Stan Shaw knife, you're not just buying a tool—you're preserving a legacy.
