lazarus   68 #27 Posted December 4, 2012 Dont buy any cutlery from David Mellor Design, only the plastic handled cutlery is made on site over 95% of their other cutlery is made in Japan & China. They dont have enough staff to produce the amount of goods that is sold on line and in their two shops, I believe they only have around six production staff.

I must add the Chinese knives are very good indeed but they are sold under the impression that they are made at David Mellors, anyone can go, ring up or e-mail and ask them if they can see the black handled kitchen range being made and you will be told some excuse as to why they cannot fulfill your request, the only thing they do to the knives IS unpack them etch the Mellor name on them by Electrolytic etching.  ---------- Post added 04-12-2012 at 19:05 ----------  There used to be a Sheffield Cutlery outlet shop/factory shop in Handsworth, near Asda, try there.  A lot of this cutlery was imported from Guy DeGrenne in France.
