Making Files by Hand - Extended Version

This film contains an extended version of the film to be found at    • Making Files by Hand   and has been published as a response to comments and requests to see the full version of the original film. It is supplemented by an even fuller demonstration by the late Ken Hawley recorded at a different time and a short b&w film of a local hand file cutter working at full speed. The latter film was made at the English Steel Corporation's Holme Lane Works where its file making production was located after opening in 1919 (originally by Vickers Ltd). The ultimate skill of a file cutter is revealed in the extended demonstration by Ken Hawley working at a 19th century ‘stiddy’ (stithey) commonly used in and around Sheffield until the onset of machine file cutting. The film identifies the tools that made the files and the process involved – all by eye and skill to produce the finished article. A website has been developed giving detail of the huge array of knife manufacturers in Sheffield over the last 200 years can be found at https://hawleysheffieldknives.com/. During 2022/23 this was further enhanced by the addition of information about spring and pocket knives.
