Display & retail

Light bone against a dark backdrop

White bone looks its best against something dark, so give this small pruner a black or dark wood stand, or a slate-coloured shelf card:

  • Pair it with its black horn twin of the same size, one light and one dark, so customers compare colour rather than price.
  • Place it at the front of the pruning section; the pale 8.5 cm handle catches the eye from the aisle.
  • Add a small card explaining the curved butt and the pulling cut.
  • Before Mother's Day and spring garden events, move a few to the gift table.

A compact serpette knife in bone often sells as a present first and a tool second.

How to use

Removing fruited raspberry canes after harvest

Summer-fruiting raspberries crop on last year's canes, which should come out once the harvest is over. The curved butt of this handle gives a secure grip for the job:

  1. Put on gloves and identify the brown, woody canes that have just fruited; leave the green new canes alone.
  2. Bend down and hook the 7.5 cm blade around a fruited cane right at soil level.
  3. Pull the knife towards you in one stroke, cutting cleanly rather than leaving a stub.
  4. Tie the strongest new canes in to the support wires.
  5. Wipe the blade and the bone handle with a dry cloth before folding.
Sharpening

Field touch-ups with a small diamond card

A credit-card-sized diamond plate slips into a wallet and handles the small hook on this knife wherever you are:

  1. Rest the plate on a flat, stable surface such as a fence post or a tailgate, and lay the bevel on it at around 20 degrees.
  2. Work the curve in three sections, heel, belly and point, rolling the handle so each part meets the plate.
  3. Use light pressure only; diamond cuts fast on a 7.5 cm edge.
  4. Strop or wipe off the burr, and keep diamond grit away from the bone handle, which scratches easily.

Back home, a session on a finer stone will polish what the card started.

Questions & answers

Bone pruner questions: origin, care and price

Does Pakistan make good knives?

Pakistan has a long tradition of handwork in natural materials, and bone handles are part of it. This compact pruner's white bone is shaped with a curved, hook-like butt and paired with a 7.5 cm stainless hawksbill. A Pakistan knife with a bone handle like this should show smooth, crack-free bone and a blade that closes centred. Small, practical pieces like this are a sensible first order for importers new to knives from Pakistan.

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

Visitors in Pakistan find the unit price in rupees (PKR) at the top of this page and can order on WhatsApp. For larger quantities, a wholesale quote by email or WhatsApp brings the cost per knife down.

How do I keep the bone handle white?

Avoid long soaks, bleach and the dishwasher, all of which dry and crack bone. Wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it straight away; over time it will mellow to a soft cream, which is natural.
