Samuel Eales Silverware Ltd T/A Inkerman Silver

We are one of the last remaining cutlery maufacturers based in Sheffield UK.

Inkerman Silver was established in Sheffield during the middle of the nineteenth century when its founder Samuel Inkerman Eales returned from the Crimean War. The company has remained in the ownership of the family since 1855.

The skills, techniques and manufacturing processes have been handed down from generation to generation of craftsmen ensuring that Inkerman products achieve the standards for which the very first Samuel Inkerman Eales was proud to put his name to.

Inkerman Silver is the trading name for Samuel Eales Silverware Ltd. In 1991 the trading name changed from Samuel Eales Silverware Ltd to Inkerman Silver to honour the founder and to keep the history and legacy of him alive.

Traditionally the eldest son was named after their father, therefore the Inkerman name was lost in 1982 when the youngest son, Thomas Eales, took over.

We continue to produce the highest quality Sheffield made cutlery in hallmarked sterling silver, sliver plated and stainless steel. Each item is indivdually hand crafted and comes with the Inkerman guarantee of quality that will last a lifetime.

There are many companies that claim to sell and even manufacture "Sheffield made Cutlery" but can they prove this?.

Here at Inkerman Silver our cutlery is 100% made in Sheffield which has been validated by the "Made in Sheffield" independant organisation.

As one of the last remaining cutlery manufacturers in Sheffield we welcome customers to visit us here at Inkerman Silver to see their cutlery and cabinets been hand crafted by our skilled craftsmen. Companies that claim to manufacture cutlery in Sheffield should offer customers the same opportunity.
