Knife Notes

Know-how from our Sialkot workshop

Which one to choose

Long-bladed siblings of the wire-wrapped walnut knife

Three long Damascus fixed blades share this knife's size class, each with its own handle character. This one stands out for the fine brass wire wrapped around its 12.5 cm walnut handle and a subtly recurved 24 cm blade.

Among the long Damascus knives from Pakistan, the wire wrap gives the most textured feel in the hand.

How to use

Making a draw cut with a recurved blade

A recurve concentrates cutting power in the hollow just ahead of the handle. To use it well:

  1. Grip the wire-wrapped walnut firmly; the brass wire gives your fingers purchase.
  2. Place the hollow of the curve, not the tip, against the rope, cord or branch.
  3. Draw the blade back along its length in one smooth stroke, so the hollow slices instead of chopping; the curve stops the material sliding off the edge.
  4. Brace the work on a log or block, never across your knee, and keep your free hand behind the edge.
  5. Wipe the 24 cm blade and oil it lightly before it goes back in the case.

The story

Wire-wrapped grips, from sword hilts to this knife

Wrapping a grip in fine wire is an old answer to an old problem: how to make a handle that stays secure in a sweating hand and still looks handsome. European swordsmiths from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries often wound twisted brass, copper or silver wire around their grips, sometimes over a wooden core, and the look became a mark of quality.

This Pakistan knife with a wood handle applies the technique to walnut: fine brass wire wrapped around the 12.5 cm grip, finished with engraved brass fittings and paired with a 24 cm Damascus blade with a gentle recurve. It arrives in a brown leather case with gold stitching.
