I’m Joel Whiton Stutter’s great-great-great-grandson. I don’t know if there is a mistake in the article or if the company was originally founded by Joel Whiton’s father who was also Joel (Barnes). I would love to get in touch with any other JW Stutter family descendants and ideally obtain some pieces.

So pleased to find this story. I just picked up a JW Stutter quill cutter at the Spitalfields Antique Market a couple weeks ago. When the name wasn’t listed in my Sheffield directory I was worried I wouldn’t be able to find any information on the manufacturer. The article provides the kind if information I was looking for.

My mother had an old pair of scissors that she swore by. She died at 104 about 10 years ago. I found the scissors in a draw about an hour ago, and noticed a stamp by the rivet. 173 Shoreditch on one side and JW Stutter on the other. Mum was always dress making and so on. Thought you might like to know? I’d send you a picture but you don’t seem to have that facility on this site. If you know of a good cutler, I’d like to get them sharpened?

Best Wishes, Ian

I bought a pair of bookbiders scissors exactly the same as the ones in your hands in the photo. Marked J.W Stutter. How will I know the approximate age of the scissors? They look handcrafted.
I bought them in a antique shop in Mosselbay South Africa

I have just received a gift of a J.W. Stutter straight razor. I believe it’s in its original unused condition and is really remarkable. The address on the tang is 268 Bishopsgate, and thabks to the information here, I can date the razor to between 1920 and 1954. Strangely, the reverse of the tang states that it is hand forged steel from Sheffield. One assumes that at this point in the firms history they were buying blanks from Sheffield to make their razors. This thread has been fascinating. Thanks to all involved. I’m going to hone my razor now and then have a shave. Cheers.

Hi Bryan,
My Grandfather used to work for J W Stutter.
Coincidentally, my Fathers name was also Bryan, spelt with a Y 😉
Unfortunately, after my father passed away, my sister cleared his house out and dispossed of all the cutlery that he still had from Stutters.
Good luck with your collection.
