Questions & answers

Walnut-toned acacia oyster knife: your questions

What is the price of this stainless oyster knife?

US$2.45 per piece (PKR 1,186 for buyers in Pakistan). From 50 pieces the price drops to US$1.72 per piece. For a larger order, send us the quantity on WhatsApp or by email and we will quote a lower rate.

Is the handle walnut?

No, it is acacia with a deep, walnut-like tone. Acacia is a dense hardwood that copes well with moisture, which is why it is widely used for chopping boards and utensils, and its colour varies from piece to piece.

Display & retail

Shelf gradient from pale teak to walnut tone

The 16 cm oyster knives in this range share the same 6 cm blade and differ mostly in handle, so display them as a gradient: pale teak, then natural acacia, then this walnut-toned version. Customers read the line as a choice of colour rather than a row of near-identical knives.

  • Lay them flat on slate or a dark board, the way they would appear at a raw bar.
  • Add a card describing this one as a Pakistan knife with a wood handle in acacia, since many shoppers assume walnut.
  • Surround the display with lemons, shucking cloths and a few clean shells for context.
  • Bring it forward from autumn to New Year, the heart of the traditional oyster season.
Made in Sialkot

Acacia, stainless steel and Sialkot know-how

Acacia is a popular handle wood because it is hard, dense and resistant to water, and its tones run from honey to deep brown within the same species. Pieces at the dark end of that range, like the walnut-toned wood on this 10 cm handle, show their depth best once sanded and finished.

Most knife manufacturers in Pakistan are based in and around Sialkot, where small workshops specialise in stages such as grinding, polishing and handle fitting. On an oyster knife the critical step is fitting the inox bolster tightly to blade and wood, because that joint takes the twisting force every time a shell is opened.
