Stan Shaw (2 December 1926 - 26 February 2021) was a cutler, or "little mester", from Sheffield, England.

His father was a ganister miner and died from silicosis at the age of 45.

He subsequently also became ill with tuberculosis and spent ten years in hospital.

[5][6] Shaw stopped producing knives in 2019 due to ill health but continued to demonstrate his craftmanship to the public at the Kelham Island Museum.

[7] A commorative plaque by sculptor Gordon Young was installed outside Cutlers' Hall in 2022.
