If you are anything like us, we like to know the history behind our products and this time we are writing about the Stanley Knife.
The brand, Stanley, became known in the 19th century, when the first of Frederick Stanley’s shops were opened in Connecticut, 1834. Initially, the Stanley Knife was aimed at professional tradesmen but has become popular over the years with DIY fanatics, too. Frederick Stanley’s aim was not to sell as many knives as possible but to sell knives to customers that would last them, well, forever, and at the same time this gave him feedback and ideas to create new ideas for different and more useful tools for his customers. Interestingly, Stanley later merged with another company to pioneer power tools, which is a name known in every house hold today, Black and Decker.
