Checks for an all-metal knife with nothing to hide

With no bolster and no wood, every join on this all-metal grafting knife is in plain view, which makes inspection quick.

Run a fingertip along the edges of the aluminium handle: they should be smooth, with no sharp corners left from manufacturing.
Open the 6.5 cm blade fully and close it again; the action should feel even, with no grinding at the pivot.
With the knife closed, the edge must rest inside the 8 cm handle, clear of the metal.
Check the spatula tip for burrs, which would tear bark during budding.
Look at the finish in good light: blade and handle should be free of deep scratches.

Display & retail

Where an aluminium grafting knife sells best

Metal handles appeal to a different customer from wood: the market gardener, the greenhouse worker, the nursery that wants tools it can wash down. Place this knife with plant-hygiene sprays, grafting tape and secateurs rather than with gift knives.

Show it beside the wood-handled 8 cm models, so the practical difference is clear at a glance.
Note on the shelf card that the aluminium handle can be wiped with alcohol between plants, a real selling point wherever plant hygiene matters.
At 48 g it feels light for an all-metal knife, so let customers pick one up.

Demand peaks in spring and again at summer budding time, so keep stock up for both.

Questions & answers

Metal handle, hygiene and price: buyer questions

Are Pakistan knives any good?

For practical tools like this one, yes. Pakistan's knife trade is centred on Sialkot, where folding garden and pocket knives have been made for export for generations. Here the blade is stainless and the handle aluminium, so nothing on the knife rusts, swells or cracks. Check the action and the centring of the blade when it arrives, and you will know exactly what you are buying.

What does this folding knife cost in Pakistan?

The price for one knife appears at the top of this page, in rupees (PKR) for visitors in Pakistan, and WhatsApp orders are welcome. Greenhouses, farm stores and tool distributors ordering in quantity pay less per piece; send us the number you need for a wholesale quote.

Can the knife be disinfected between plants?

Yes, and that is one of the best reasons to choose it. Wipe the blade and the aluminium handle with 70% alcohol or a horticultural disinfectant between trees to avoid spreading diseases such as fire blight. Dry the knife afterwards and add a drop of oil to the pivot now and then.

Made in Sialkot

How all-metal folding knives come together in Sialkot

Sialkot, in Pakistan's Punjab, has been a metalworking centre for centuries, and its workshops supply cutlery, surgical instruments and garden tools to buyers worldwide. A knife of this type usually starts as two parts: a stainless blade blank that is hardened, ground and polished, and an aluminium handle shaped to receive it. The blade is then pinned into the handle on a pivot, the action is adjusted so it opens and closes evenly, and the edge is finished last.

Aluminium makes sense for a working tool. For the same volume it weighs about a third as much as steel, it does not rust, and it can be polished to sit well beside the blade. Among Pakistani knives for the garden, all-metal models like this are the easiest to keep clean, and a stainless steel Pakistan knife of this kind has no wooden parts to dry out or crack.
