Knife Notes

Know-how from our Sialkot workshop

Did you know?

Horn grows for life; antlers do not

Horn and antler are often confused, but they are opposites. Antlers are bone, grown and shed every year by deer. Horn is a permanent sheath of keratin over a bony core, and it keeps growing throughout the animal's life, laying down the fine layers you can sometimes see in a polished handle. Those layers are what give this knife set from Pakistan its deep, glossy black.

Best uses

High-gloss black handles and where they shine

The high-gloss finish catches light like lacquer, so these six knives reward a carefully laid table, and each stainless steel Pakistan knife in the case is as practical as it is sleek. Gloss shows fingerprints more than a matt finish, so give the handles a quick wipe with a soft cloth before guests sit down.

Raw horn to mirror shine

Horn reaches a handle-maker's bench as a rough, ridged piece of keratin. It is usually cut into blanks, shaped and fitted to the blade, then smoothed through progressively finer abrasives. Because horn is built in layers, care is needed not to grind through one layer unevenly, which would leave a dull patch.

The high gloss comes at the end: buffing wheels charged with polishing compound bring the surface to a deep shine, and a final hand polish removes any haze. Paired with an inox bolster and an 11.5 cm blade of 420 steel, glossy black handles like these remain a favourite among Pakistan knives made for the dining table.
