Beloved by a former president, Lamson’s cutlery is now on view at The Smithsonian.
Interestingly, those knives still begin their journey in Shelburne Falls, where the steel is sourced and laser cut. They then travel to Westfield, where Lamson’s production team works its magic, making sure they are perfectly level before polishing, grinding, cleaning, and laser marking the blades, as well as hand-finishing their handles. It’s a process completed with care—and a bit of grit."They take something—essentially a dirty piece of steel—and turn it into a work of art.
That legacy includes a former president. Upon Ulysses S. Grant’s 1869 election, Lamson sent him a generous gift: a 62-piece dinnerware set bearing handles of ivory and mother of pearl. Needless to say, the gift went over well. Terry—considered the unofficial archivist of Lamson—reports that the president responded with a “lovely thank-you note”.
Jim and Terry are confident that every new Lamson customer walks out a happy one."You've got a well-balanced, handcrafted tool that's going to be your go-to knife for a lifetime,” Jim says. And Terry hopes they also connect with the history of the company: “You’re holding a knife that harkens back to craftsmen who arrived from England at the turn of the 19th Century.” In many ways that’s exactly what great craftsmanship is about: artistry, integrity and provenance.
