About

The Hawley Collection is an internationally important material record of tool making, cutlery manufacture and silversmithing from Sheffield, together with complementary material from Britain and the rest of the world. This collection is unique in that it combines finished artefacts and work in progress to illustrate how things were made. It was personally collected by the late Ken Hawley over fifty years and continues to be added to today. Ken saw the value in these old tools and the need to preserve them and their history for future generations. For more information, visit our website at: http://www.hawleytoolcollection.com/ For further details about makers of Sheffield knives see our website at https://hawleysheffieldknives.com/ which provides essential data for anyone interested in Sheffield's knife heritage. This YouTube channel has been set up by volunteers as part of the project: Sheffield Craft that Built the World (2014-2016) supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
