Hiram Wild Ltd

Central Cutlery Works, Herries Road, Sheffield S6 1QU. England

In 1864 Hiram Wild, a young Sheffield knife grinder, saved

the life of a local landowners son by rescuing him from the

Sheffield flood. His bravery was rewarded with a gift of

200 to enable Hiram to set up his own business in the

Parish of Hallam.

Today, with over 130 years experience and technical

innovation, Hiram Wild Ltd has become Britains largest

producer of Sheffield made knife blades as well as Sheffield

silver plated and stainless steel cutlery.

Sheffield is the home of stainless steel since Harry Brearley,

a metallurgist at Thomas Firth & Sons in Sheffield

developed a steel that did not rust.This new invention was

described as stainless steel.The method of mixing

chromium with steel came about through experiments by

Brearley whilst producing gun barrels that would not

corrode.

Stainless steel was first used in the manufacture of Sheffieldcutlery in the early 1920s and became the first cutlery in

the world to be stainless. To this day Hiram Wild

manufactures cutlery marked Firth Stainless Made in

Sheffield England.

Having established an international reputation for technical

expertise and quality, Hiram Wild Ltd also leads the way,

with emphasis on innovative design. No matter what your

requirements Hiram Wild have the styles, patterns

accessories and blanks to meet your needs.Whether its

cutlery for the home, restaurant, hotel, local authority,

promotional campaign or a bespoke tailored solution,

Hiram Wild have the right product at the right price.

THE MANUFACTURING

PROCESSES OF TABLECUTLERYSpoons and Forks

All spoons and forks are stamped out from rolledsheet whether the material be stainless steel, nickel orsterling silver.The outline blanks are pressed out two

at a time leaving a webbing which is recycled. In thecase of spoons the bowl area is rolled twice to

provide enough material to stamp and form apleasant usable thickness.The handle design is thenstamped in between a top and bottom die. In the

case of spoons, the bowls are stamped and clippedwhereas the forks are pierced once for nickel andsilver and twice for stainless steel to form the prongs.

All items are then edged and the prongs are shapedprior to polishing. Sterling silver cutlery has special

attention during all processes but particularly in

polishing. Stainless steel is simply polished thencleaned and inspected whereas nickel goes on to be

silver plated before final finishing and inspection.Thickness of plate is variable dependant on theamount of the time the article is submersed in the

plating vat.

Hollow Handle Knives

Knives with separate handles have as many as 60processes in manufacturing the complete article.Theblade is hot forged from bar and the bolster is formed

under a hammer between dies and the blade is rolledto the correct thickness. Both ends are then clipped

to form the final shape. The handles like the spoonand fork are stamped from rolled sheet but from athinner gauge.The pattern is pressed into a single half

and after clipping the waste away, they are joinedtogether in a furnace.The blade and the handlecontinue to be processed separately as the blade has

each cutting surface individually ground and thebolster and back ground before rumbling, glazing andpolishing.The handle is pressure tested, edged, glazed

and polished and like spoons and forks, if nickel, is

silver plated.The handle and blade are joined togetherwith a cement that is inert and enables our knives to

withstand any weight or twist tests that comply withall international standards including ISO 9002.

The blades are etched with the appropriate brandname and whetted as part of their final processes

before cleaning, inspecting and wrapping.

CUTLERYCARE

Hand Washing

DO

Rinse, wash and dry after use-prolonged contact

with acids found in food residue and mineral salts

in water can attack the metal and cause pitting or

staining.

Take extra care with knives, the carbon content

reduces the stainless resistance of the blade.

Polish away any stains with a reputable silver

polish.

Wash silver cutlery separately from stainless steel.

Chemical reaction may cause discolouration.

Clean with silver cloth as sulphides in food, such

as eggs cause tarnish. Use a reputable silver dip or polish where

necessary if heavy tarnishing occurs.

Store in an air-tight container or Hiram Wilds

anti-tarnish rolls or canteens*

DO NOT

Leave soaking in water or damp after washing.

Use abrasive pads or harsh cleansing agents which

will scratch the surface be concerned when small

scratches appear.

Silver is a soft metal and marks easily but gradually

gains a fine, whitish patina.

Dishwashers

DO

Follow the machine instructions.

Remove and HAND DRY the cutlery as soon as

the cycle has finished.

Load knife blades DOWNWARDS.

DO NOT

Leave unwashed cutlery for any length of time.
