Acorn tools are world renowned and have been made by Henry Taylor Tools since 1834, combining the traditional pride and skills of those far off days with the aids of modern technology. Only the best quality Sheffield steel is used, coupled with advanced heat treatment, to ensure that the finest of cutting edges is not only achieved but also maintained.

Many of the lower quality tools produced elsewhere are made under drop stamps or presses but Henry Taylor believe that only the hand forging method used by the "Acorn" craftsmen can produce the correctly shaped blade, with the best metallurgical qualities.

Blade Finish: black non-reflective finish on the outside and a straw coloured ground surface on the inside.

Blade Lengths: 3 1/4 inch - 3 1/2 inch
