Below is an image of a hand wrought spoon making sequence made by Old Newbury Crafters and sold in a presentation box.
I have compiled this list of craftsmen who still hand forge flatware. This list is by no means complete and I would welcome anyone’s input for further craftsmen and women who make hand wrought flatware.

We specialise in handforged silver flatware, and are based in London.
We export our flatware all over the world, especially to the United States.
Many of the dies we use are original Victorian ones, and we have a full range of traditional patterns.
Thank you for listing me on your blog.
I thought you might appreciate to know - that Michel Royston passed away
Dec. 2008
I have relatives from Northern Indiana named ZWEIG
Thanks again, Lilnda
Linda, Thank you for bringing that to my attention. The silversmithing community also lost Kurt J. Matzdorf that same month. It is always hard to loose such find craftsmen and women. Michel and Kurt will be sorely missed.
My lineage of Zweigs come from Illinois.

Oooh, you’re such an inspiration. I love this blog!
Flatware pattern guide. Active and discontinued sterling flatware patterns for sale at very affordable prices.
I just discovered your blog and find it very informative and inspiring. Can you explain how you get from the second last step of the fork series to the last fork? How do you construct the fork prongs?
