Knife Notes

Know-how from our Sialkot workshop

Quality check

Spot checks for a one-material steel knife

Of the knives made in Pakistan in our grafting range, this is the simplest to inspect: there are no scales or bolster to check separately, so attention goes to the finish and the action.

Run your thumb along the 10 cm steel handle: its edges should be rounded, with no burrs that could wear through a glove.
Open and close the 8.5 cm blade several times; it should move evenly and stop at the same point every time.
When closed, the edge must sit fully inside the handle without touching the frame.
Blade and handle should share an even polish, free of dark marks or pits.

At 51 g, it is the lightest 10 cm grafting knife in our range, a point worth putting on the shelf card.

How to use

Chip budding in late summer with a straight blade

Chip budding suits apples, pears, plums and roses, and it is more forgiving than T-budding because it does not depend on the bark lifting.

On the rootstock, make a short cut at about 45 degrees into the wood; then start a second cut a little higher up and slice down behind it to meet the first, lifting out a small chip.
Remove an identical chip from the bud stick, with a healthy bud in its centre, using the same two cuts.
Fit the bud chip into the notch so the cambium lines up, at least along one side.
Bind it firmly with clear budding tape, which can be loosened once the chip has taken.

The straight 8.5 cm blade and all-steel handle make clean, repeatable cuts, one chip after another.

Questions & answers

Steel handle, weight and price: quick answers

Does Pakistan make good knives?

Pakistan makes a great many knives, and Sialkot is the centre of that trade, with workshops supplying cutlery and garden tools to importers worldwide. The good ones share the qualities you can see on this model: a stainless 8.5 cm blade that holds an edge, an even action and a clean finish. Made entirely of metal, this stainless steel Pakistan knife also has no handle material to age.

What is the price of this knife in Pakistan?

Buyers in Pakistan will see the per-knife price in rupees (PKR) at the top of this page and can order on WhatsApp. For nurseries, farm suppliers and distributors, the price per knife comes down as the order grows; tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email for a wholesale quote.

Does a steel handle feel cold or slippery?

Steel feels cool in early spring, when much grafting happens, and it is smoother than wood. Many grafters simply wear thin gloves for bench work. In return, the handle can be wiped with disinfectant as often as you like, and nothing on it can split or swell.

Did you know?

Every Hass avocado tree traces back to one seedling

The Hass avocado, now one of the most widely grown varieties in the world, began as a single seedling that Rudolph Hass, a postman, planted in his California garden in the 1920s. Avocados do not come true from seed, so every Hass tree since has been grafted from that original; the mother tree lived until 2002. Growers still propagate it with a sharp, straight blade much like this one.
