Sheffield Makes: Steven Cocker

In this episode of Sheffield Makes, we visit Steven Cocker, a cutler who uses traditional methods to make knives, here in Sheffield.

 

Steven shows us through the processes involved in the construction of knives, with an in-depth look at his studio. He talks about how the trade was passed down to him by generations of cutlers before him, and what he hopes for its future.

Sheffield Makes is a series of short films about Sheffield makers, processes and products produced within the City of Sheffield and surrounding area.
