Knife Notes

Know-how from our Sialkot workshop

Sharpening

Sharpen after the handle goes on, not before

Whatever state the edges arrive in, treat this blank as sharp, and leave the final sharpening until the handle is finished:

While you shape and fit the scales, wrap the edges of the 27.5 cm blade in two layers of masking tape to protect your hands and the polish.
Once the scales are riveted and any glue has cured, remove the tape and clamp the knife securely or hold it flat on the bench.
Sharpen on a medium then a fine whetstone at around 20 degrees, keeping the stroke count equal on each side so the bevels meet the point evenly.
Strop to remove the burr, then sight down the blade to check the point is centred.

Custom Pakistani daggers made from blanks like this are judged above all on that symmetry.

Did you know?

Tang: a word borrowed from Old Norse

The tang, the part of a blade that runs into the handle, takes its name from Old Norse: tangi meant a point or spit of land, and also the pointed end of a blade driven into a handle. In English, the word first meant a snake's tongue. On this blank the 13 cm tang is left bare, ready for the maker to fit scales of their choice to the Pakistani blade.

Carry & safety

Is it legal to carry a knife like this?

A blank is unfinished, but once a handle is fitted it becomes a full-size dagger, and the law will treat it as one. Rules on owning, making and carrying such knives differ between countries, so check them before you begin the build. Keep blanks and finished pieces locked away from children, and if you supply the knife-making trade, confirm each buyer's age and any conditions that apply to sales in your market.

Questions & answers

Makers' questions about this dagger blank

What is the price of this dagger blade in Pakistan?

The unit price is at the top of this page, shown in rupees (PKR) for visitors from Pakistan. Workshops and suppliers to the knife-making trade buying several blanks pay less per piece; message us on WhatsApp or email with the quantity for a quote.

What else do I need to finish it?

Two handle scales in a material of your choice, epoxy, the rivets supplied, a drill, files and abrasive paper. Shape the scales roughly, glue and rivet them to the 13 cm tang, then sand everything flush. A Pakistan stainless knife blank like this suits makers who want to concentrate on handle work.

Does it come with a case?

Yes. A leather case is included, so the finished dagger has protection for storage and transport from the moment the last rivet is set, and the blank itself travels safely while you work on it.
