Best uses

Orchard rounds and vineyard rows

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.

  • Winter pruning of vine spurs
  • Removing suckers from fruit trees
  • Cutting back raspberry canes
  • Harvesting grape bunches
  • Trimming saplings and hedging whips
  • Shaping young apple and pear trees
Made in Sialkot

Teak, inox and the finishing bench

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.

Questions & answers

Is the 10 cm teak pruner right for you?

What is the folding knife price in Pakistan for this teak pruner?

US$4.50 per piece (PKR 1,760 for buyers in Pakistan). From 50 pieces the price drops to US$3.15 per piece. For a larger order, send us the quantity on WhatsApp or by email and we will quote a lower rate.

Should I choose the 10 cm or the 8 cm size?

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.

Pro tip

Make the handle easy to spot in long grass

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.
