Hamlet Craft Tools are made in Sheffield, UK, a city with centuries of hand tool heritage. Now part of Henry Taylor Tools, Hamlet continues the tradition of forging tools from M2 high-speed steel, offering professional-level edge retention and precision at very competitive prices. The name “Hamlet” reflects their roots in the Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet, where original toolmakers operated.
