(6) Vintage A. Peters & Co. Sheffield Steak Knives
This vintage set includes six forged stainless steel steak knives by A. Peters & Co., a distinguished Sheffield cutlery maker. Each blade is marked “A. Peters & Co., Sheffield, England – Forged Stainless Steel,” reflecting the city's long-standing tradition of fine knife craftsmanship.
The knives feature slightly curved, serrated blades ideal for cleanly slicing through steak and other meats. Each is paired with a squared, warm-toned hardwood handle that offers both aesthetic appeal and a sturdy grip. These pieces likely date to the mid-20th century, a period when Sheffield was internationally recognized for its premium steel production.
Sheffield’s reputation in cutlery dates back centuries and was solidified with the invention of stainless steel in 1913—transforming the durability and hygiene of kitchen tools worldwide. These knives embody that legacy with both style and practical function.

In good vintage condition overall, with mild spotting and surface tarnish on the blades. Wooden handles show minor wear but remain strong and smooth. All knives retain functional sharpness.
