Best uses

Budding-season jobs for a small olive-handled blade

Folded, this knife measures just 8 cm, and its 6.5 cm flat blade with a spatula tip is built for the close, delicate work of budding rather than heavy cuts. Olive wood feels warm and grippy on a cool morning, which matters on a grafting knife you may hold for an hour at a stretch.

Questions & answers

Olive wood, price and quality questions

Are Pakistan knives any good?

Judge this one with the knife in your hand. The stainless blade copes with sap and wet foliage, the inox bolster will not rust, and the olive wood handle is dense, with a swirled grain. A well-made Pakistan steel knife opens smoothly, sits centred when closed and has a bolster flush with the wood, and Sialkot workshops have turned out folding garden knives to that standard for generations.

What is the price of this grafting knife in Pakistan?

Shoppers in Pakistan see the per-piece price in rupees (PKR) at the top of this page and can order through WhatsApp. Garden shops and nurseries buying a few dozen for the budding season get a lower rate per knife: send us the quantity by WhatsApp or email and we will quote.

Will every handle look like the photo?

Not exactly. Olive wood grows with an irregular, swirling figure, so each 8 cm handle carries its own pattern of lighter and darker streaks. The shape, the inox bolster and the 6.5 cm blade are identical from knife to knife; only the figure of the wood changes, and many customers see that as part of the appeal.

Display & retail

Merchandising a lighter olive handle beside reddish acacia

Olive wood is noticeably lighter in tone than the reddish acacia used on the brass-bolstered version of this same 8 cm knife. Shown side by side on a small angled stand, the two invite customers to pick a favourite, and some will happily take one of each.

Bring the knives forward in late winter, when gardeners order rootstocks and plan their grafting, and again in early summer for budding.
Place them beside grafting tape, budding strips and secateurs, not in the general pocket-knife cabinet.
Leave one knife open so the flat, spatula-tipped blade explains its purpose.

A shelf card reading “olive wood, stainless blade, made in Sialkot” answers the first questions shoppers ask about Pakistan knives for sale in a garden centre.

How to use

T-budding a rose with the spatula tip

Summer budding needs a keen edge and a gentle lift, and this compact knife does both. Work when the bark is lifting easily, usually from early to late summer.

On the rootstock, make a vertical cut through the bark only, then a short cross cut at its top, so the two form a T.
Turn the knife and use the spatula tip to ease back both flaps of bark without tearing the green layer underneath.
Cut a bud from a ripe shoot of the chosen variety with a shallow, shield-shaped slice of the 6.5 cm blade, in one smooth stroke.
Slide the shield down into the T until it sits snugly under the flaps, then bind it firmly with a budding strip, leaving the bud itself uncovered.

Wipe the blade before folding it back into the olive wood handle.
