Metal working has been well researched but little has been done to appreciate the details of the trades which used bone, ivory, horn, etc. to make the knife handles, where the use of these materials was governed by availability, price and fashion. À partir de l’étude de documents d’archives et de couteaux de Sheffield encore conservés de nos jours, cet article a pour objectif de comprendre les méthodes de travail, les taux de rémunération et l’approvisionnement en matière première des métiers subsidiaires en lien avec cette industrie. Si le travail du métal a été bien étudié, peu de recherches permettent, en revanche, d’apprécier en détail les métiers qui utilisent l’os, l’ivoire, la corne, etc. pour fabriquer les manches de couteaux, l’utilisation de ces matériaux dépendant de leur disponibilité, de leur prix et de la mode alors en vigueur.
