Questions & answers

Carrying, origin and price questions

What is the folding knife price in Pakistan for this acacia pruner?

US$4.00 per piece (PKR 1,620 for buyers in Pakistan). From 50 pieces the price drops to US$2.80 per piece. For a larger order, send us the quantity on WhatsApp or by email and we will quote a lower rate.

Is it too big for a pocket?

At 9.6 cm closed it fits a jacket or work-trouser pocket comfortably, and many growers carry it in a small belt sheath instead. If you want something you can forget in a shirt pocket, the 8 cm models suit you better.

Which one to choose

Choosing between acacia, teak and a smaller size

This pruner sits in the middle of the range: a brown acacia handle, an 8.4 cm curved blade and a 9.6 cm length that suits regular vine and orchard work. It is a straightforward, no-frills serpette knife. Other options:

Care & maintenance

Getting acacia through a wet pruning season

Winter pruning means rain, frost and mud, and acacia handles all three well as long as it is not left wet.

  • Wipe the handle dry after each session; dense acacia resists moisture but can check or crack if it is repeatedly soaked and dried.
  • Every month or so during the season, rub a few drops of linseed or mineral oil into the wood.
  • Clean sap off the 8.4 cm blade with warm soapy water or alcohol, then dry it.
  • Oil the pivot lightly and work the blade a few times.

The stainless blade resists rust, but sap and grit in the joint stiffen any Pakistan steel knife over time, so the last step matters most.

Pro tip

Leave it open to dry after a wet day

After pruning in the rain, do not fold the knife straight away. Wipe it, then leave it open overnight on a high, dry shelf out of children's reach, so moisture can escape from inside the handle instead of sitting against blade and wood. Fold it in the morning with a drop of oil on the pivot. It is a small habit that keeps knives from Pakistan, or anywhere else, working smoothly for years.
