History
Silas Lamson was the inventor of the curved scythe snath, an innovation that allows the worker to stand fully erect, making it easier on the back. This had a dramatic impact on agriculture. In 1834, he started Lamson & Goodnow in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts to produce his curved scythe snath. In 1837, his two sons, Ebenezer and Nathaniel Lamson, together with partner Abel Goodnow, became interested in making knives and started the business that has retained the names of Lamson & Goodnow from that time to the present. The partnership was successful and enjoyed a steady growth during its early years. During the Civil War, the company became one of the largest United States cutlery manufacturers, employing more than 500 workers to meet the demand for their products. Today, Lamson & Goodnow cutlery is still handcrafted in Shelburne Falls by American workers. We're proud to say that over 177 years later, we still produce the finest cutlery and kitchen tools made in America.
