Folding fruit knives first appeared in Europe during the 17th century. They had blades of silver or gold which were resistant to the corrosion of acidic fruit juice and men often gave them as presents to their wives or girlfriends. During the 18th century, as folding fruit knives became popular in England, they spread to the British Colonies and into America becoming a popular type of knife as a result of their versatility.
A. W. Staniforth was born in Sheffield in 1841, the son of Samuel (a cutler) and Sarah. He made silver fruit-knives and registered silver marks at the Sheffield Assay Office in 1889 (‘AS’) and 1890 (‘AW’). His address was Holly Street and his residence before the First World War was in Sarah Street. By 1919, he was still working in Holly Street, with a residence in Sharrow Lane. He continued making silver-fruit knives until 1919.
