Ahead of Eid-ul-Azha, the blacksmiths of thirteen upazilas of Sylhet district are extremely busy making and sharpening knives, machetes and choppers for cutting and slicing the flesh of sacrificial animals.
Rono, Narayaon of Sylhet Bazar disclosed that it is only at this time of the year that demand for their products spurts, centred as it is on Eid-ul-Azha.
At other times, they make household and agricultural appliances like the chopper, axe, knife, crowbar, chisel, hammer, saw, spade, cleaver, yoke, shovel, blade, hook, mallet, punch, nail, hoe, sickle, pick-axe and others in keeping with public demand. They also told this correspondent that they expected the highest sale of their products during Eid-ul-Azha.
“Bank loan on easy terms may help us to make more products.We made brisk business last year and earned Tk. 3,000-4,000 every day.
But the demand for our products is yet to touch the highest point this year-we’re earning only Tk. 2,000-3,000 a day.
We are selling sharp knives for slaughtering animals for Tk. 600 each and small knives can be found for Tk. 150-200 each,” said Sadan, who was found hard at work at Kazirbazar in Sylhet city.
