Established in 1947, Slack & Barlow Ltd. was a prominent cutlery manufacturer based in Sheffield, England. Founded by Frank Barlow, the company specialized in producing flatware, table and pocket knives, and cutlery sets branded as ‘BARSLAC’. Initially operating from Sycamore Street and Eyre Lane, the firm moved to the new Silverpride Works in Matilda Street in 1958. Known for their high-quality, EPNS products, particularly popular in Australia, Slack & Barlow thrived under Frank Barlow's leadership. Frank's son, John, joined the business post-high school, contributing to its success until the company's dissolution in 1994. A1 Silver A1 silver refers to a high-quality silver plating standard, indicating a thicker layer of silver applied to the base metal compared to standard silver plating. This results in more durable and longer-lasting products, often used for cutlery and tableware.
