Robert Sorby is the world’s premier manufacturer of specialist woodworking tools with a heritage
dating back more than 200 years. During that time Robert Sorby has developed a global reputation for
manufacturing the finest edge tools available.
We at Robert Sorby proudly continue this manufacturing tradition from our base in Sheffield, England
where today Robert Sorby is one of the city’s oldest hand tool manufacturers.
OUR MISSION
Always at the forefront of innovation Robert Sorby happily embraces modern production
technology, but we are also immensely proud that hand craftsmanship still plays a pivotal
role in the production of our tools.
Our traditions go hand in hand with our vision for the future. We never rest on our laurels and
are always looking to forge new ideas and practices to ensure our customers get the best
their money can buy. Our catalogue of tools is the envy of our competitors and this year is no
exception with new additions to what is already the best selection of turning tools available.
It’s not just the quality of Robert Sorby tools that make us the envy of rivals; our customer
service is unrivalled too. Our staff members are always on hand to help and our technical
experts will be able to answer your questions in a polite and friendly manner. Their
confidence comes from years of unparalleled tool manufacture. Every tool that leaves our
factory is tested for Rockwell hardness. Every tool is carefully inspected prior to packing and
every tool is guaranteed to give you top performance.
