Questions & answers

Forks to match your horn knives

What does a set of six forks cost in Pakistan?

US$31.25 per piece (PKR 9,250 for buyers in Pakistan). From 50 pieces the price drops to US$21.88 per piece. For a larger order, send us the quantity on WhatsApp or by email and we will quote a lower rate.

Why does a fork set include a sharpening steel?

So the case is complete when it sits beside the matching knives. Forks need no sharpening; the steel is there for the table knives that go with them.

Sharpening

The steel in a fork case, explained

Forks are never sharpened, so the steel in this case is meant for the black horn table knives that partner them. Used on those knives, it keeps each edge aligned between meals:

  1. Rest the point of the steel on a folded cloth, handle up, so it cannot skid.
  2. Lay a knife against it near the top at about 20 degrees and pull down and back, so the whole edge meets the rod.
  3. Alternate sides, four or five gentle strokes each.
  4. Inspect the fork tines while you are at it: a tip bent or burred by a fall can be eased straight and smoothed with fine emery paper.

A Pakistan stainless steel knife in 420 steel hones back quickly this way.

Display & retail

Shelving forks beside the knives they match

A fork set sells best when nobody has to imagine its partner.

  • Place it directly beside the black horn knife set with brass bolsters, with one knife and one fork laid out together on a napkin.
  • Price the two cases on one card, so a customer sees the cost of full place settings for six.
  • Remind staff to offer the forks whenever a horn knife set is sold; many buyers do not realise matching forks exist.
  • A note that the set comes from one of the cutlery manufacturers in Pakistan in Sialkot answers the origin question.

Keep both cases in the same shelf zone all year, with extra stock before the wedding season.
