This pruning knife has a hawksbill blade and teak wood handle, inox bolster, 10 cm, made in Pakistan.
This serpette pruning knife pairs an 8 cm curved hawksbill blade with a 10 cm teak wood handle and a polished inox bolster. Manufactured in Pakistan, it's a full-size pruning knife for regular vine and orchard work. A wholesale item for retailers stocking a standard teak-handle pruning knife.
This is the size many professionals reach for: an 8 cm curved blade with enough length to wrap around a shoot, in a 10 cm teak handle that fills a gloved hand. A hooked blade knife of this size handles the steady, repetitive cuts of a full day's pruning.
Teak is a favourite for working knife handles because its natural oils help it resist moisture and rot, which suits a tool that spends its life outdoors. In Sialkot's cutlery trade, teak scales are typically cut from seasoned stock, shaped to the frame, then sanded through progressively finer grits until the grain is smooth enough to need only a light oil finish.
The inox bolster is ground and buffed to a mirror shine, and the joint where metal meets wood is worked until it is flush. The result here is a stainless Pakistan knife with a 10 cm handle that feels the same in a cold, wet vineyard as it does on the shop counter.
They can be excellent working tools. Pakistan's knife industry is centred on Sialkot, which has supplied cutlery and instruments abroad for generations, and pruning knives are one of its long-standing lines. With any origin, check the details: here, a stainless 8 cm blade, a polished inox bolster and oily, weather-tolerant teak. A blade that opens firmly and folds back centred is the best sign of a well-made knife.

For vines, fruit trees and long sessions, choose this 10 cm model: the longer handle gives leverage and the 8 cm blade reaches around thicker shoots. The compact 8 cm version is better for roses, pots and occasional use, and disappears more easily into a shirt pocket.
Teak blends into mulch, leaf litter and winter grass, and almost every grower has put a knife down at the end of a row and lost it. Wrap a band of bright orange or yellow tape round the end of the 10 cm handle, well away from the bolster. A dropped Pakistan knife then shows up at a glance instead of turning up under the mower in spring.
