Knife Notes

Know-how from our Sialkot workshop

Which one to choose

Trailing point, ram horn or gut hook for skinning

A trailing point lifts the tip above the line of the spine and leaves a long, curved belly, which makes this 8 cm blade a capable Damascus skinning knife in folding form. Two siblings take different routes to the same job:

Damascus Skinning Knife with Natural Ram Horn Handle: the same handle length in mottled cream ram horn, for buyers who prefer a lighter, natural look.
Damascus Gut-Hook Skinning Folding Knife: adds a gut hook and a ribbed horn grip, for hunters who field dress their own game.

Choose this one for its sweeping blade, file-worked brass liners and red-lined box: it is the most decorative of the three.

The story

Filework: a decoration you only see from the spine

Filework is a traditional way of decorating a knife without adding anything to it. With small round, square and triangular files, a maker cuts repeating notches into a spine or liner, building rope, vine or zigzag patterns one stroke at a time. Because the decoration runs along the edges of the handle, it stays hidden until someone turns the knife over, which is half the pleasure.

On this pocket knife made in Pakistan, file-worked brass liners run the full length of the 11 cm black horn handle, framed by a Damascus bolster and a brass medallion. The curved butt fills the palm, and the trailing point ahead of it has long been a favourite of hunters and cooks, valued for long, controlled slicing cuts.

Sharpening

Keeping a trailing point sharp right to the tip

Choose a medium whetstone, around 1000 grit, and a fine one of 3000 or more to finish; a pull-through sharpener cannot follow the upswept tip.
Hold a steady angle of about 15 to 20 degrees and start at the heel of the 8 cm blade.
As the stroke reaches the belly, raise the handle gradually so the edge stays in contact all the way to the lifted point.
Ease off the pressure near the tip, which is thin and easily rounded.
Strop on leather, then wipe the blade with a drop of oil before closing it.

Most Pakistani knives with a generous belly respond well to this raised-handle stroke.

Questions & answers

Box, filework and price, answered

How should I display a knife collection?

Show some knives from the side most people never see. On this model, the file-worked brass liners only appear from the spine, so stand it closed on its back in the red-lined box, or set a small mirror behind it. Rotate pieces every few months so no handle sits in the same light for years.

What is the price of this trailing-point folder in Pakistan?

Visitors from Pakistan see a rupee (PKR) price per boxed knife at the top of this page and can order through WhatsApp. Retailers taking several get a lower unit rate; send us your quantity and we will reply with a wholesale quote.

What is filework?

Decorative notching cut by hand with small files. Here it runs along the brass liners inside the handle, visible when you look at the closed knife from its back.
