Tradition and innovation since 1601

Granton is one of the world’s oldest knife manufacturers, producing quality knives in Sheffield for centuries. Their craftsmanship combines traditional knife-making methods with modern technology to meet the highest standards of the food industry. Every knife is made in the Sheffield factory, where each blade is tested for hardness and quality to ensure lasting sharpness.

The company specialises in professional knives for catering, food processing, industry and medical use. Blades are made from premium stainless steel, offering an ideal balance of hardness and corrosion resistance. Each knife undergoes a unique cryogenic heat treatment to increase steel strength and ensure maximum sharpness.

Granton® Edge – often copied, never duplicated

Patented in 1928, the Granton® Edge remains one of the most iconic knife designs in the world. The small hand-ground scallops along the blade reduce friction and prevent food from sticking. The result is a cleaner cut, less resistance and greater precision – perfect for slicing fish, meat and vegetables.

This design has made Granton knives a favourite among professionals who value accuracy and efficiency. They are especially popular with chefs and butchers who appreciate the high cutting performance and durability. Granton® Edge stands as a symbol of over 80 years of innovation and craftsmanship excellence.

Ergonomics, safety and hygiene

Granton offers several handle types designed for professional use. The ColourGrip™ system makes it easy to colour-code knives according to food types to prevent cross-contamination – a standard practice in many kitchens and food production facilities. Handles are available in classic black, ergonomic styles or versions with additional safety grips for better hand protection.

All handles are made from impact-resistant polypropylene, suitable for sterilisation and heavy use without loosening from the blade. The knives are built for comfort, with double-tapered grips and rounded spine edges that reduce hand and wrist fatigue. Traditional wooden handles are still available in selected series for those who prefer a classic look with modern performance.

Care and maintenance

To preserve sharpness and longevity, wash your knife by hand in warm water with mild detergent. Dry immediately after cleaning to avoid rust or staining. Use a honing steel or whetstone to maintain the edge, and always cut on wood or pla
