Know-how from our Sialkot workshop

Made in Sialkot

How a boot knife comes together, step by step

A boot knife may be small, but it involves as many operations as a large dagger. In the Sialkot trade, a blade like this usually starts as a stainless steel blank that is hardened and then ground with two symmetrical edges, the trickiest step on a short blade. A brass guard is slipped over the tang, the walnut is drilled and fitted, and a brass pommel cap closes the handle.

The last stages are hand work: shaping the wood flush with the brass, polishing metal and wood, and fitting the leather case. That mix of machine-cut parts and hand finishing is what makes a Pakistan boot knife like this consistent from piece to piece, yet individual in its grain.

Questions & answers

Boot knife questions answered

Are knives made in Pakistan any good?

Like knives from anywhere, they range from basic to excellent. Sialkot has specialised in blades for well over a century, so the know-how is there, and the individual piece tells you the rest. On this boot knife, both edges should be ground evenly to a centred point, and the brass guard and pommel cap should sit tight against the wood. A Pakistan knife with a wood handle that meets those standards is built to last.

What is the price of this stainless knife in Pakistan?

The unit price is shown at the top of this page, in rupees (PKR) for buyers in Pakistan. Retailers stocking a boot knife line pay less per piece as quantities increase; WhatsApp or email us for a quote.

Is the leather case included?

Yes. Every knife ships with its own leather belt case, so it is ready for display or storage straight away, and the snug fit protects both edges of the compact blade when it is packed in a bag.

Pro tip

Polish the brass without touching the wood

The brass guard and pommel cap darken slowly with handling. When you polish them, mask the walnut with tape first: brass polish is mildly abrasive and can leave grey residue in the grain. Finish with a drop of oil on the wood once the tape is off. On a traditional Pakistani knife with brass fittings, that contrast between bright metal and dark wood is half the appeal.

Did you know?

Highland dress and the knife worn in the sock

Carrying a small knife at the leg has a famous precedent: the Scottish sgian-dubh, worn tucked into the top of the kilt hose as part of Highland dress. Its name is Scottish Gaelic for black knife, perhaps after the dark wood of early handles or because it was kept out of sight. Today it is purely ceremonial, worn at weddings and formal events, much as this compact walnut-handled knife is now mostly a collector's piece.
