The William Greaves Range

William Greaves were once a prolific company who highly prospered in the 19th century during the boom of the tool and cutlery trades and as steel became more commercially available. William Greaves situated at Sheaf Works in the heart of Sheffield, opened in 1823 and was known to be the largest business in this area at this time. The Sheaf Works made a range of tools and saws including cutlery, penknives and razors and also even made its own steel in house. The factory used it’s perfect position for waterpower being built on the edge of the Sheffield canal and also used the railway line in close proximity giving them the perfect opportunities for it’s famed success.

We have been making the William Greaves range since 1991, to these same specifications as their early days. These traditional style saws are ideal for the keen D.I.Yer and woodworkers who want quality on a budget.
These are made to order, please be aware there may be a delay despatching these during busy periods
