Michael May Knives – Handmade Clip Point Pocket Knife – Yorkshire Oak

Michael May Clip Point Pocket Knife – Yorkshire Oak

This Clip Point Pocket Knife combines functionality with a timeless design, making it the ideal tool for anyone who values quality and craftsmanship.

The Blade

One of the most recognisable pocket knife patterns, the clip point combines a fine, controllable tip with a generous curved cutting edge. The pointed tip is ideal for more detailed work, while the sweeping belly makes slicing clean and effortless. It’s a true all-rounder. Michael uses SF100 stainless steel, produced in Sheffield. There’s something rather satisfying about a Sheffield knife made from Sheffield steel.

Yorkshire Oak

The oak is sourced from woodlands around Bawtry in South Yorkshire and finished with a soft satin sheen. Given a little care and the occasional wipe with Danish or teak oil, the handle will age beautifully. Over time it will darken naturally, becoming uniquely yours.

The Maker

Michael May followed family into Sheffield’s cutlery trade before forging his own path, establishing a workshop in Portland Works—the historic birthplace of stainless steel. Today he produces small batches of beautifully made pocket knives that combine traditional patterns with exceptional attention to detail.
