Knife Notes

Know-how from our Sialkot workshop

Made in Sialkot

One brass pin, no bolster: a simple build

Old garden knives were often built from little more than a blade, a handle and a single pin, and this one follows that plan. The 8.5 cm hawksbill turns on a brass pin passing through the 10 cm acacia handle, with no separate metal bolster at the front. Fewer parts mean fewer joints to work loose and a lighter, plainer tool.

Pins of this kind are usually set by peening: the ends are hammered or pressed until they spread slightly and hold fast, then filed and polished flush. Acacia, a hard, close-grained wood, grips a pin well and takes a smooth finish, which suits a hooked blade knife meant for regular field work.

Sharpening

Bring the stone to the blade with a slipstone

Most people sharpen by moving the knife over a stone. On a curved pruning blade it is often easier to do the reverse:

Rest the acacia handle firmly on a table edge with the blade open and the edge facing up, away from your body.
Take a small slipstone or pocket whetstone, wetted or oiled as its maker advises, and use its rounded side on the inside of the curve.
Rub along the bevel at about 20 degrees in small circles, working from the pin end of the 8.5 cm blade towards the point.
Turn the knife over and give the other face a few lighter strokes to take off the burr.
Slice a sheet of newspaper; a clean cut means the job is done.

On a stainless Pakistan folding knife like this, a few minutes before each pruning season keeps it cutting.

Quality check

Checking the pin and the acacia on arrival

Without a bolster, the brass pin and the wood around it carry all the load, so start there:

Both ends of the pin are smooth and flush, with no sharp burr to snag a glove.
The acacia around the pin shows no hairline split running towards the blade.
Held open, the blade does not rock sideways on the pin.
The curved edge closes into the handle without grazing the wood.
Grain and colour differ from piece to piece; that is the acacia, not a fault.

A knife that clears these five points is ready for its first season of pruning.

Questions & answers

Quality, cost and engraving: what buyers ask

How good is the quality of a Pakistan knife like this one?

It is a simple, honest tool: a stainless 8.5 cm hawksbill, one brass pin and a solid acacia handle, with no plastic parts. What decides how long any Pakistan knife lasts is fit and care, so check the pin and the closing alignment when it arrives and wipe off sap after use. Treated that way, it keeps cutting cleanly year after year.

What is the folding knife price in Pakistan for this model?

The top of the page shows the unit price, in rupees (PKR) for anyone browsing from Pakistan. Garden centres and nurseries ordering by the carton get a lower rate per knife; message us on WhatsApp or write by email with the quantity.

Can the handle carry our shop's name?

Engraving and private label are available on request for wholesale orders. Acacia generally takes a laser mark cleanly, so a nursery name or logo on the side of the handle is often possible; send the artwork and quantity and we will confirm what can be done.
