The trade of knife-making and repairing in London became established by the thirteenth century forming a guild before receiving a Royal Charter in 1416. The Cutlers' Company, like many other City livery companies, no longer has a strong connection with its trade, which for the most part relocated north to Yorkshire, where an associated organisation, the Company of Cutlers in Hallamshire was established in the 17th century. Thus, the Cutlers' Company is nowadays primarily a charitable institution, funding and administering a variety of educational initiatives such as scholarships and awards.
