Questions & answers

Good to know about the compact teak pruner

US$3.80 per piece (PKR 1,564 for buyers in Pakistan). From 50 pieces the price drops to US$2.66 per piece. For a larger order, send us the quantity on WhatsApp or by email and we will quote a lower rate.

Is teak a good handle wood for garden tools?

Very good. Teak is dense and naturally rich in oils, so it resists damp and does not swell easily, which is why it has long been used for boat decks and outdoor furniture. A wipe of oil once or twice a year keeps its colour even.

How to use

Harvesting grape bunches with a short hooked blade

At harvest, a small hooked blade knife is quicker than secateurs for many pickers: the curve finds the stem among the leaves, and one pull frees the bunch.

  1. Open the 7 cm blade fully before you reach into the vine, and fold it whenever you walk between rows.
  2. Cup the bunch from below with your free hand, so it does not fall when cut.
  3. Slip the curve over the stem close to the cane, edge facing you, and pull through in one movement.
  4. Lower the bunch into the crate rather than dropping it, so the berries do not split.
  5. At the end of the day, rinse the sticky juice off the blade and the teak, then dry both.
Did you know?

Silica in teak blunts woodworkers' tools

Teak is famous for being easy on the eye but hard on tools. The wood contains tiny particles of silica, taken up from the soil as the tree grows, and those mineral grains wear down saw teeth and planer blades far faster than most hardwoods do. Many woodworkers use carbide-tipped tools on it for that reason. On a knife handle, that same dense, oily structure is what makes it so durable.
