Stan Shaw displays his skills as a pen knife cutler at his then workshop at 48 Garden Street, Sheffield. After 'retirement' Stan continued to operate in a 'Little Mesters' workshop at Kelham Island Museum. Stan sadly passed away on 26 February 2021.

The film is part of a series entitled 'Masters of Metalworking' commissioned by Sheffield City Council's Ruskin Gallery working closely with Ken Hawley who is the narrator on this particular film. It was originally released on no.2 of the series of films in 1993.

The film is made available by kind permission of the Sheffield Galleries & Museums Trust who now manage some of the city's museums on behalf of the City Council.
