Taylors Eye Witness was founded by John Taylor in the early years of the 19th Century as designers and producers of kitchen knives, pocket knives, scissors and sharpeners.

The “Eye Witness” Trademark was first re gistered in 1838 – the inspiration for the choice of “Eye Witness” is believed to be Shakespeare’s line in Henry IV – “No eye hath seen better”.

Our home until 2018 was the Eye Witness Works in Sheffield. This Grade II listed building was the only traditio nal works remaining in Sheffield which still manufactured its original products at the time.

Employing highly skilled Sheffield craftsmen and with a knowledgebase which is unrivalled, Taylors Eye Witness have stood the test of time through an unrelenting d edication to quality, service and good old fashioned technical know - how.
