Ok friends here are a few pics of my workshop and i am also showing you that i am putting my stamp on the spine of the knives i am going to start making a knife also and i will put pics of the knife when i am making so would you guyz be setisfied then or do you want more things from me ?
 
The problem you are fighting is alot of crap comes out of Pakistan.
Its simple you buy 100 blades from Pakistan and 90 of them will be crap... 9 maybe ok blades and 1 maybe quality.

Make quality blades, keep selling them...
Over time the quality of your work will override what people are expecting. People will talk about your blades on the forum, and the name Mughal-Bros will mean a quality blade.
Then you will start to get people banging down the door... make sure you dont do anything to lower quality.. such as getting others to make blades you stamp as yours and you shall keep that name.

Trust is hard to earn, easy to lose, wanting to prove you make your own blades is a good start.
People seem to think you are RR-cutlery... Your English is less disjointed but that could just mean you are better practiced or another employee.
If you are not, just take the time to build up your rep selling knives on the forums... deal with people fairly and honestly and fix any problems that appear.

I would love to see a quality knife maker from Pakistan be sought after blade maker on these forums.
I suggest you do a Pass-Along(or whatever its called on these forums)
You make a blade, you send it to a forum member, they do a review and pass it onto another member.. they review it.. and so on, I would suggest choosing a well known and respected smith on the forums to be the first to review one of your knives.

Good luck to you whatever you decide to do.
 
Hey, it's nice that you are making an effort here. I think another thing that people here wonder about is where you source the steel from. It's easy to say that you use 1095 in your damascus, but where do you get it from? How do you do your heat treating?
 
Ok so here is the thing , i get 1095 steel from here , my knives are 56 to 58 hrc , and one more thing is that i already said i am from pakistan and a knife maker i will post my knives here but if you don't wanna buy it's ok for me but the problum is you people are ruining my threads that's why i am doing this . after this thread no one please say anything in my threads for sale just ask what u wanna ask here in this thread .

How do you know that the steel you buy is 1095 and how do you know your hardness ?
 
What a question , i am a knife maker sir , i do hardness by myself , and i get 1095 steel from my city they export that steel all over the world not only here .

I dont know..... that piece of steel laying on your drill press looks a bit rusty like it was cut from the side of a ship, how do you test for hardness?

Ok, maybe you can explain how you heat treat your knives and how you temper them to get to 56-58 hrc.
 
I am afraid that in today's world, the history and beauty of Pakistan is forgotten. I have noticed that all the knives you have posted have a strong western influence. What does a knife in Pakistan look like? What is traditional there? India has a long history of unusual bladed weapons, having been part of India, is there a type of knife that is more Pakistan than Indian?

I am not much of a knife buyer but I will tell you that I would be way more interested in something traditional from Pakistan than some thing western from Pakistan.
 
I look forward to seeing more of your work and possibly buying some. Are you relatively new at knife making? Good luck to you in any case :)
