Inspecting a dyed blue handle on delivery
Coloured handles show faults that natural wood can hide, so give each blue knife a quick look before it goes on sale:
- The blue is even along the 12 cm handle, without pale patches where the dye has not taken.
- The polished inox bolster meets the wood flush all round, with no gap or glue line.
- The blade opens smoothly, stops firmly and closes centred, its edge clear of both sides of the handle.
- The 10.5 cm edge is evenly ground from heel to tip.
- No dye has rubbed off onto the blade or the packaging.
These checks take a minute per Pakistan pocket knife and save returns later.
