Buying guide
Finding your way through 189 folding knives
With 189 models across eight subcategories, this is the part of the catalogue where buyers most need a map. Start from the customer you serve, then narrow down by handle and blade.
- Everyday carry and general retail: Wood Handle Folding Knives in teak, acacia and dyed wood, mostly 10 to 12 cm.
- Gift and collector shops: Damascus folders with pattern-welded blades, most supplied in a wooden box.
- Garden centres and vineyards: pruning knives and grafting knives, with handles from 7.2 cm up to about 11 cm.
- Outdoor, biker and rescue buyers: textured-grip and firefighter models with aluminium or metal handles, black-coated tanto or drop-point blades and built-in rescue tools.
- Specialists: mushroom knives for foragers and two butterfly knives for collectors.
Whatever the line, check three things on a sample: the blade opens fully and stays there, the closed edge sits centred, and every handle joint is flush. A distributor building a first Pakistan folding knife range often takes a core of wood-handle models, adds a Damascus tier for margin and one specialist group suited to its market. Many of the folding pocket knives list a compatible leather sheath on their product page, sold separately, which makes add-on sales straightforward.
