Questions & answers

Lock, size and price: locking pruner questions

Are Pakistan knives any good?

Good ones are reliable working tools, and this model adds a locking backspring that holds the 9 cm blade open while you cut. Test it on arrival: open the blade fully, push gently on the back with the edge pointing away, and it should stay put without play; closing should need a deliberate release. A Pakistan stainless steel knife that passes that test, with a tidy inox bolster and an even edge, is well made.

What is the folding knife price in Pakistan for the locking model?

The unit price appears at the top of this page, in rupees (PKR) for visitors in Pakistan, and you can buy via WhatsApp. For wholesale quantities, write by email or WhatsApp; the per-knife rate goes down as the order grows.

How big is it?

It is one of the longest pruners in the range: a 9 cm hawksbill blade folding into an 11.3 cm reddish wood handle. It suits larger hands and heavier pruning, and travels better in a work-jacket pocket or a belt sheath than in jeans.

The story

Saint Vincent's day and the start of winter pruning

In many wine regions of Europe, 22 January is Saint Vincent's day, honouring the patron saint of winemakers, and folk tradition links the feast with the heart of the pruning season. Processions, blessings of the vines and shared meals still mark it in some villages, a reminder of how central the winter cut is to the vineyard year.

The serpette knife was the tool of that season long before shears arrived. This version updates the pattern with a lock: its backspring holds the 9 cm blade open, so the edge stays in place through long sessions in cold vineyards, and the 11.3 cm reddish wood handle gives a full grip even in gloves.

Pro tip

Test the lock before the first cut of the day

A lock only helps once it has fully engaged. Before you start, open the blade until you feel it settle, then press gently on its back with the edge pointing away from you; nothing should move. Sap and grit can build up in the mechanism over a season, so if the lock feels sluggish, rinse the joint, dry it and add a drop of oil. Never release it with fingers in the path of the edge.

Best uses

When a lock makes the difference

Holding the blade open matters most where the knife meets resistance, so this is the pruner to reach for when the wood is tougher. As a Pakistan knife with an 11.3 cm handle, it also suits bigger hands.
