Knife Notes

Know-how from our Sialkot workshop

Made in Sialkot

Inox bolsters: purpose and finish

The bolster is the metal collar at the front of the handle, where blade meets wood. On a pruning knife it does real work: it protects the end of the wood from splitting under the pressure of the pulling cut, and it gives the pivot a solid seat. Inox, the workshop name for stainless steel in many countries, is chosen because it stays bright without painting or plating.

Bolsters on knives like this are usually polished on a buffing wheel along with the blade, so the steel surfaces match. On this hooked blade knife the result is a clean, silver-toned front to a 9.4 cm brown wood handle, with an 8.1 cm hawksbill folding neatly behind it.

How to use

Deadheading and shaping roses with a curved blade

A hooked blade is a rose grower's old friend. For tidy plants and more flowers:

Follow the faded flower's stem down to the first leaf with five leaflets, or to an outward-facing bud.
Slip the stem into the curve of the 8.1 cm blade about half a centimetre above that point.
Draw the knife towards you at a slight angle, sloping away from the bud so rain runs off the cut.
Remove crossing or dead canes the same way, working from the base of the plant upwards.
Wear gloves throughout: thorns, not the blade, cause most rose-pruning scratches.

Care & maintenance

Season-end care for brown wood and inox

After a winter of pruning, give the knife half an hour before it goes into the drawer:

Clean the 8.1 cm blade with warm soapy water, then dry it fully, especially inside the handle.
Rub a thin coat of mineral oil or a wood finishing oil into the brown wood, and wipe off the excess after ten minutes.
Put a drop of oil on the pivot and work the blade a few times to spread it.
Store it closed in a dry place, not in a damp shed where the wood could swell.

A Pakistani blade treated like this comes out next season ready to cut.
