Roots of the cutlery business in Western New York
More than 200 years ago, the U.S. cutlery industry started in New England when a group of cutlers from England's famous Sheffield Cutlery Industry banded together in small factories. Passing down from generation to generation their skills and demand for quality cutlery, the industry grew and gradually moved westward with time. By the late 1800's a group of cutlers had settled in the Western New York and Northern Pennsylvania area.
All the cutlery companies that remain in the Olean, Franklinville, Springville, Bradford and Ellicottville areas today can trace their roots back to the migration of cutlers to the Little Valley and Cattaraugus areas in the late 1800's. At one time, more than 30 knife companies populated the relatively small area we now we refer to as Western New York and Northern Pennsylvania. Surviving market fluctuation and economic difficulties, only a few strong companies remain in the area today.
KA-BAR Knives, Inc. is one of the few remaining cutlery companies in the Western New York area.
