[Arthur Wright & Son] Ettrick Ebony Wood

 Description: 

One of our best-selling pocket knives. Handle scales made from oak wood sourced out of distilleries across the UK holding whisky. The Ettrick started life as a small gutting knife, reputedly designed by the Earl of Wharncliffe and his gamekeeper! Due to its comfortable handle and short blade it has since become a great general purpose pocket knife, easy to carry and particualrly popular among wood workers and wood carvers. It is also often chosen as a first pocket knife for a young person.

Started in 1947, Arthur Wrights is a traditional Sheffield Pen and Pocket knife manufacturer. All our pocket knives are still individually hand crafted by apprentice trained Sheffield Cutlers, using methods passed down from generation to generation. Every process, from blanking out the blades and springs, hardening and tempering, assembly, grinding and glazing - right up to the final polishing are all done in-house. This gives us a guaranteed quality control through every step of the process of knife making.
