We are proud to continue to offer British-made blades after nearly a century of experience in saw blade manufacturing.  We are one of the leading UK manufacturers of high quality Tungsten Carbide Tipped circular saw blades, incorporating modern equipment and techniques alongside the traditional skills of saw making.

Our founder Richard Henry Walker (b1864) worked in the Sheffield Saw Industry from 1880.  He and his son, John, started R H Walker and Son Limited during the 1930s.  Ownership and control of the company has remained in the Walker family ever since.
 
In 1937 part of the present site in Cotton Mill Row was taken over to enlarge the premises and in the early 1940s a Cardiff company, Atkinson & Co (Saws) Limited, was taken over by R H Walker.  This factory was closed in 1954 and handsaw, bandsaw and circular saw blade production consolidated in Sheffield.  Further premises were acquired on Bower Street and R H Walker and Son incorporated into the current trading title of Atkinson-Walker (Saws) Limited in 1975.

Still based at the centre of Sheffield's heritage area, Atkinson-Walker (Saws) currently employs 20 people and is managed by Chris Walker and his wife, Marg.
