Questions & answers

Brass, horn and price: what buyers ask

Are Pakistan knives any good?

Plenty are, and the way to know is to examine one. This model pairs a 7.5 cm stainless spatula-tip blade with a black horn handle and a polished brass bolster: check that the brass meets the horn flush, that the blade opens firmly and that the tip is crisp. Knives from Pakistan, and from Sialkot in particular, have reached growers around the world on exactly that kind of finish.

How much does a brass-bolster grafting knife cost in Pakistan?

The price for one knife is shown in rupees (PKR) at the top of this page for visitors in Pakistan. For shop stock, ask us on WhatsApp or by email, as the unit price comes down while the order grows.

Will the brass bolster tarnish?

Brass slowly darkens to a soft patina, which many owners like on a horn-handled knife. If you prefer it bright, a little brass polish on a cloth restores the shine in a minute; just keep the polish off the horn.

Sharpening

Protecting the brass while you sharpen

On this knife the polished brass bolster sits right next to the edge, and a slipping stone can scratch it in a second.

  1. Cover the bolster with a strip of masking tape before you begin.
  2. Sharpen the 7.5 cm blade on a fine whetstone, keeping to the existing bevel angle, and stop each stroke short of the bolster.
  3. Work the squared-off tip with care so its corners stay crisp and square.
  4. Rinse the stone slurry off the blade, peel the tape away and wipe the brass clean.

For touch-ups in the orchard, a small pocket stone does the job without any taping. A well-kept grafting knife needs only a few strokes after each session.

Best uses

Bench grafting and other flat-blade jobs

A flat 7.5 cm blade gives long, straight cuts, which is why this horn-handled stainless Pakistan knife suits indoor bench grafting in winter as well as orchard work. Its 10 cm handle also gives a secure hold through long sessions at the potting bench.

  • Bench grafting apple rootstocks
  • Splice and whip grafts
  • Side-veneer grafts on ornamentals
  • Lifting bark with the tip
  • Preparing hardwood cuttings
  • Trimming graft unions clean
Display & retail

A classic black-and-brass look for gift shelves

Black horn and a brass bolster give this knife the look of a traditional country tool, so it sells to gift buyers as well as growers.

  • Show it in a glass cabinet such as the Pyramid-Top Glass Knife Showcase Cabinet, half-open so the brass catches the light.
  • Group the brass-bolster grafting knives together, apart from the inox models, so the warmer metal reads as a deliberate choice.
  • Promote it before Christmas and Father's Day, then move it to the gardening aisle from late winter.
  • Suggest a leather sheath and a gift box at the till to lift the basket value.
