Sharpening

Honing strokes in the right direction

This set from one of the cutlery manufacturers in Pakistan comes with its own steel; the secret to using it well is stroke direction. With each of the six red-handled knives:

  1. Start with the heel of the blade at the top of the steel and the edge leading, as if slicing a thin layer off the rod.
  2. Sweep down and back at about 20 degrees, finishing with the tip near the bottom.
  3. Alternate sides with an equal count, four or five strokes each.
  4. Check for a burr by drawing a fingertip gently off the edge, from the spine side outwards, never along it; if one side catches, give the other side a stroke or two more.
Pro tip

Make the red set your steak service

Restaurants can turn this red set into their dedicated steak knives. Staff clearing tables spot red handles at a glance, so the knives are pulled out and washed by hand instead of vanishing into the general wash with the everyday cutlery. Each Pakistan stainless steel knife then stays with its set, and the white copper bolsters keep their shine.

Questions & answers

Red handles, white copper: questions

What is the price of the red knife set in Pakistan?

US$27.50 per piece (PKR 8,200 for buyers in Pakistan). From 50 pieces the price drops to US$19.25 per piece. For a larger order, send us the quantity on WhatsApp or by email and we will quote a lower rate.

Will the red fade?

Like most dyed wood, it can fade slowly if left in strong sunlight. Kept in the case or a drawer and washed by hand, it holds its colour well.

How to use

Styling a festive table in red and white

Red handles turn a plain table festive with almost no effort. For a celebration meal for six:

  1. Start with a white or cream tablecloth so the red handles and silvery bolsters stand out.
  2. Place each knife to the right of its plate, edge inwards, with the ends of the 12 cm handles in a line.
  3. Repeat the red once elsewhere, in napkins, candles or a bowl of pomegranates, so the knives look planned rather than random.
  4. After the meal, collect the knives before the dishes so they never soak in the sink, then wash, dry and return them to the case.
