About the company: The Northfield Knife Company was established in 1858, taking advantage of the water power and access to the Naugatuck Railroad. In the post-Civil War era the company produced over 12,000 knives per year. It employed 120 workers, many of whom were highly trained experts from Sheffield, England, then world-renown for its excellence in steel-knife production. (In fact, when a proposal was made in 1866 to incorporate Northfield as a separate town, one opponent argued before the state legislature that the English cutlers weren’t fit to be citizens of a town!). The mill dam brought other businesses to Northfield as well, most prominently a feed and fertilizer mill run by Jeremiah Peck. The growth of these two businesses led to a corresponding growth in Northfield’s population, and factory housing appeared in town. In 1865, for example, the Northfield Knife Company spent $5,000 to erect five homes for employees on Main Street. Northfield knives live on as Northfield UN-X-LD, a division of Great Eastern Cutlery. Today they are made in Titusville, Pennsylvania. The mill pond in Northfield remains, however, testimony to the industrial heritage of this area and to the Northfield Knife Company, an internationally-known business whose knives were featured at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. -- Source: Hidden in Plain Sight Blog. The original Northfield knife company was incorporated and operated in Northfield, Connecticut from 1858 to 1926. Their UN-X-LD branded pocket knives were known for their quality and are highly collectible today. In 2006, Great Eastern revived this legacy and began manufacturing Northfield Un-X-LD pocket knives. -- Source: Country Knives -- Firmly readable, ideal for reference and collecting. Very nice.
