This grafting knife is a small hand-held tool with an extremely sharp, pointed, and short steel blade. It is used to graft plants, which is perfect for obtaining plants identical to the original one while taking advantage of the chosen rootstock's qualities.

Detailed features

Directions for use This knife is mainly used for bud grafting. Wear gloves when working with the knife. On the scion: take care to remove the leaf located at this level, while leaving a piece of petiole. Make a cut 1 to 2cm (1in) above and below the eye. Slide the blade under this entire part and check that there is no wood behind the bud. On the rootstock: make a "T" incision in the bark without touching the pith. Using the spatula, gently lift the bark on each side of the T-cut to insert the taken bud (in the right direction, with the leaf facing upwards). Cut off the excess part of the bud that protrudes from the T. Tie it with a piece of raffia to hold the bud in place by its ends and seal the edges. Clean the blade with alcohol after use to prevent the transmission of diseases from one plant to another, and to keep your tool in good condition for a long time (the sap of certain plants can damage the blade or make it sticky over time). Store this tool in a dry place, protected from bad weather.
