Lamson was established in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts in 1837. As the oldest continuous manufacturer of cutlery in the United States, Lamson has been the choice of home and professional cooks as well as US Presidents for the last 179 years because of its high standard of craftsmanship. These traditions are true today not only in our cutlery and kitchen tools but in our barbeque equipment, Tree Spirit (Handcrafted North American Hardwood Kitchen Utensils and Wood Care Products) and Hotspot ( Professional Grade Silicone Potholders, Trivets, Hot Handles) products.
