Know-how from our Sialkot workshop

Did you know?

Why the hawksbill shares a name with a sea turtle

The hawksbill sea turtle and the hawksbill knife were named for the same feature: a narrow, downturned beak like that of a bird of prey. On this hooked blade knife the 8.5 cm edge curves inward in just that way, so a stem drawn into the hollow cannot slide off the end. The point bites first and the curve carries the cut through, which is why the shape has survived in vineyards and orchards for so long.

Questions & answers

Buying the dark wood serpette: the usual questions

Are knives made in Pakistan any good?

Sialkot workshops have made folding garden knives for export for generations, so this pattern is a familiar one there. For this model, inspect the finish yourself: an inox bolster flush with the dark wood, a blade that closes centred, and a hook point that arrives undamaged. Those details tell you more about any Pakistani knife than the label on the box.

What does this pruning knife cost in Pakistan?

Buyers in Pakistan see the unit price in rupees (PKR) at the top of the page and can order on WhatsApp. For a nursery or farm-supply shop ordering a carton, the rate per knife falls as the quantity rises: email or message us the number you need.

Why is the handle longer than the blade?

The 10 cm dark wood handle has to house the 8.5 cm blade when it folds, and the extra length gives room for the whole hand during the pulling cut. On thicker canes that matters, because a short handle leaves the little finger hanging off the end.

Quality check

Five points to inspect before the dark wood stock goes out

On a 10 cm handle with an 8.5 cm hook, small faults are easy to spot if you know where to look. Open a sample from each carton:

  • The hook point is sharp and straight, not bent over in transit.
  • Folded, the curved edge rests inside the handle without touching the wood on either side.
  • The inox bolster sits flush with the dark wood; run a fingernail across the join.
  • Opening takes a firm, even pull, and the blade does not wobble at full extension.
  • The wood is smooth, free of cracks and evenly finished down to the butt.

A Pakistan folding knife that passes all five is ready for the shelf.

Display & retail

Selling a full-size serpette beside the secateurs

Pruning knives sell when customers see them as a partner to secateurs rather than a replacement. In late winter, place this one right next to the secateur rack, open on a small angled stand so the 8.5 cm hook is visible from the aisle.

  • Add a shelf card explaining the pulling cut; one line is enough to turn curiosity into a sale.
  • Group the dark wood model with the teak and olive versions of the same size, so shoppers choose by colour rather than by size.
  • Keep grafting tape and raffia within reach for the spring rush.

Leave one sample out for handling: the 10 cm handle does most of the selling once it is in a customer's hand.
