Sheffield’s ‘legendary’ last little mester has died at the age of 94. Stan Shaw was awarded a British Empire Medal in the Queen’s New Year’s Honours list in 2017 for his services to manufacturing in the city.
Stan started making knives in 1939 at the age of just 14, still spending nine hours on the bench in his 90s. Sam’s family didn’t have a cutlery background, but on a trip to Sheffield he saw pocket knives for sale in the market and decided that’s what he wanted to do. Stan, who was born in Worrall, had a problem with his hip as a child that meant he had to spend a lot of time in hospital and
so he received a very limited education. But since starting his apprenticeship all those years ago, he had gone on to become one of the most respected knife-makers in the world. As well as presenting the Queen with a knife in the late 80s, George Bush Senior and Elvis Presley’s pianist, Glenn Hardin, have also added his knives to their collections. In fact, Hardin has over 50.
In 2017, he was awarded the British Empire Medal for meritorious service worthy of recognition by the crown- it was first time such an award had been bestowed on a member of the cutlery trade. Stan lived in Deepcar with his wife Rosemary, who handled the books for his business, for 50 years. Mr Shaw had a four yearlong order book, but was forced to stop working in 2019 due to ill health.
