Layers of colour in a multicolour handle

Swirled handles like this one are typically made from thin layers of dyed wood bonded together with resin under pressure. When the block is cut at an angle, the layers surface as waves of red and green, and because no two cuts cross the layers in quite the same place, every handle carries its own marbling.

That material is one reason coloured woods are so common on keychains made in Pakistan: bonded with resin, they are stable, they polish to a smooth finish and they hold their colour. In Sialkot, where pocket-knife making has been a trade for generations, a 6 cm handle like this is finished to sit flush with its brass bolster, around a 4.6 cm stainless blade and a fold-out corkscrew.

Questions & answers

Swirl, quality and cost of the multicolour corkscrew

What does this corkscrew keychain cost?

US$2.20 per piece (PKR 1,116 for buyers in Pakistan). From 50 pieces the price drops to US$1.54 per piece. For a larger order, send us the quantity on WhatsApp or by email and we will quote a lower rate.

Will mine have the same swirl as the photo?

No two will match exactly. The red and green marbling depends on how each handle was cut from the layered wood, so the photo shows a typical piece rather than the one you will receive.

Care & maintenance

Marbled wood needs only a soft cloth

Resin-bonded coloured wood shrugs off a splash better than plain timber, but it still deserves a little care, especially around wine.

  • Buff the handle with a soft dry cloth after use; it brings back the depth of the red and green swirl.
  • If wine dries on the corkscrew, rinse it under the tap and dry it fully before folding.
  • Avoid leaving the keychain in a hot car or on a sunny windowsill, since prolonged heat is hard on wood of any kind.
  • A drop of light oil on each pivot keeps the blade and corkscrew moving smoothly.

The 4.6 cm blade needs little more than drying, as with any stainless Pakistan knife.

Quality check

Spotting flaws in a swirled-wood handle

Marbled handles hide small flaws well, so look closely when a delivery arrives.

  • The swirl should run unbroken across each scale, with no pits, bubbles or chips in the surface.
  • Both scales should sit flush with the brass bolster all round.
  • The corkscrew should swing out to a firm stop, with a straight spiral and a keen tip.
  • The 4.6 cm blade should close centred and stay clear of the corkscrew inside the handle.
  • Closed, the keychain should lie flat on a table without rocking.

Variation in colour from piece to piece is normal and part of the appeal; a gap or a loose bolster is not.
