How to use

Lunch in the field with a shepherd's folder

A shepherd's knife was made for meals eaten outdoors and small jobs around the flock, and it still works best that way.

  1. Open the 9 cm blade with two hands, thumb on the spine, until it stops, keeping your fingers clear of the edge's path.
  2. Rest bread or cheese on a board or a flat stone and cut down and away from your hand, letting the curve of the edge do the slicing.
  3. For cord or twine, place it near the heel of the blade and cut with a drawing stroke, away from your body.
  4. Wipe the blade on a cloth, then close it deliberately, fingers away from the edge as it swings home.

The curved teak handle settles into the palm in each of these grips.

Questions & answers

Shepherd's folder questions from shops

Does Pakistan make good knives?

Yes, and a traditional pattern like this one is a good showcase. Sialkot cutlers have exported folding knives for generations, and traditional shapes remain part of that trade. Here the brief is simple: a 9 cm stainless blade and a curved 10.5 cm teak handle, with no bolster adding weight. Check the action of the blade and the fit of the wood, and you will see how well it is made.

How much does the shepherd's folding knife cost in Pakistan?

Its unit price is at the top of this page, in rupees for visitors in Pakistan, who can also order on WhatsApp. Outdoor shops and farm suppliers buying several pieces get a degressive rate; email or message us for a wholesale quote.

Why is the handle curved?

The curve follows the hand. It lets the handle sit snugly in the palm with the heel of the hand behind it, so you can cut with control without gripping hard. It also gives the knife the traditional silhouette many customers recognise at once.

Display & retail

Shelving traditional patterns together

Customers who pick up a shepherd's folder usually want something with roots, not a modern-looking gadget. Group it with other classic shapes on a wooden stand rather than plastic: the burl teak shepherd's knife, the acacia version with a flying duck medallion and a few plain olive wood folders.

  • Show one knife open and one closed, so the shape of both blade and handle is clear.
  • Add a small origin card: a Pakistan knife with a wood handle, made in Sialkot.
  • Place leather sheaths and a pocket sharpener alongside as easy add-ons.
  • Bring the group forward in spring and autumn, when walkers and campers are shopping.
Sharpening

Following the edge's curve on the stone

  1. Use a medium stone, around 1000 grit, followed by a finer one; a narrow pocket stone suits a small folding blade well.
  2. Set the angle at about 20 degrees and hold it steady throughout.
  3. Start at the heel and sweep along the edge, lifting the handle slightly as you reach the curve so the edge near the tip stays in contact with the stone.
  4. Count your strokes and repeat the same number on the other side.
  5. Strop lightly, wipe the 9 cm blade and fold it back into the teak.

Sharpened little and often, a traditional Pakistani knife like this keeps its original profile for many years.
