Knife Notes

Know-how from our Sialkot workshop

Pro tip

Wear a cut-resistant glove on the holding hand

With a serpette knife, a slip during the pulling cut sends the edge back towards you and the hand steadying the branch. When you face hundreds of cuts in a day, wear a cut-resistant glove on that hand and an ordinary work glove on the knife hand for grip. It costs little, and it lets you work steadily with the 8.5 cm curve without worrying about a slip.

Display & retail

Gift-shelf placement for a larger bone pruner

White bone sets this 10 cm pruner apart from the working wood models, and it deserves a place on the gift shelf as well as in the garden section. Display it open on a dark slate or wooden block, which makes the pale handle glow, next to garden journals, seed tins and good twine.

Pair it with the black horn version of the same size: shoppers tend to pick one of the two.
Keep the display piece behind glass and a boxed sample for handling, so the bone stays clean.
Mention on the label that the 8.5 cm blade is stainless, which reassures buyers that a gift will be used, not just admired.
Move it forward for Mother's Day, Father's Day and the winter holidays.

Questions & answers

Colour, quality and price of the bone pruner

What is the stainless Pakistan knife price for this bone pruner?

US$5.60 per piece (PKR 2,068 for buyers in Pakistan). From 50 pieces the price drops to US$3.92 per piece. For a larger order, send us the quantity on WhatsApp or by email and we will quote a lower rate.

Will the white bone change colour over time?

Slightly, and gracefully. Bone tends to mellow towards a warm ivory with handling and light, much as old bone-handled cutlery does. Keeping it clean, dry and out of strong sun slows the change.

The story

Head gardeners and their pocket pruners

For much of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the folding pruning knife was as personal to a professional gardener as a pen to a clerk. Head gardeners on large estates carried one in a waistcoat pocket, used it for pruning, taking cuttings and tying in, and often kept the same knife for decades. Many of those knives had bone or horn handles that mellowed with use.

Collectors still look for such tools, and Sialkot has made pruning and pocket knives for overseas buyers for generations, so vintage Pakistan knives belong to the same story. This white bone pruner, with its 8.5 cm hooked blade and 10 cm handle, follows the old pattern and will age in the same way.
