Scalloped bolster, teak and Damascus: common questions
Are Damascus knives from Pakistan any good?
Pakistan is one of the main sources of Damascus knives today, and quality varies, so look at the blade itself. Here the 8.5 cm blade is hand-forged from layered steel and etched to reveal its pattern, which should run evenly right to the edge, free of cracks or blotches. With a teak handle and a scalloped inox bolster finished to match, it is a sound Pakistan folding knife for grafting or for a collection.
How much does this Damascus grafting knife cost in Pakistan?
Visitors in Pakistan will find the price in rupees (PKR) at the top of the page, for one knife, and can buy through WhatsApp. If you are stocking a gift shop or a collectors' counter, ask us for a wholesale rate: the per-piece price falls with quantity, and we reply by WhatsApp or email.
What does the scalloped bolster add?
It is a decorative touch: a wavy edge where the inox bolster meets the teak, which sets this knife apart from the plain-bolstered Damascus model. It is also where your fingers rest, so check that the scallops feel smooth when the knife arrives.
