Great knife. Holds an edge and has a good feel to the handle. Great price too

Great knife for grafting! It’s sharp and easy to handle while I’m gardening. The blade is stainless steel and it’s easy to maintain. I bought a less expensive knife before this one and had to return it because it was not sharp enough. This one is perfect for grafting mango trees!

Well made, durable, sharp edge that stays sharp. Single bevel, which is essential for grafting. The shape of the blade, rectangular with a beveled edge on the blunt side, works great for both grafting and removing loose bark, a handy tool when looking for codling moths. There are less expensive knives, but the quality of this one makes it a great value for the money.

Nice and sharp for grafting.

I am new to grafting and decided to purchase this knife as it has a bark lifter and single sided cutting edge. I tried it out and found that I could simply use a desposable razor blade knife (cheaper) to do veneer and stump grafting. I see why a single side cutting edge would be beneficial in making shallow cuts, but I was able to control a double sided blade and do the same thing. The knife is a well made knife. Very solid and good quality. However, the blade does not securely lock into place so when one uses the bark lifter one has to hold onto the blade itself to pry open the cambium layer. This exposes your fingers to a very sharp blade. If you held onto the handle portion the blade while twisting and prying with the bark lifter it can snap shut possibly catching flesh on it's way. It scared me enogh to not use the lifter. I instead purchased a two pack of micro lab spoons. (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XJPJJM3?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title) . Search Amazon for lab spatulas. The bowl shape of the spoon forces the bark open with the flat side of the spoon being pushed downward into the cambium layer.

I got my dad one for Father's Day. After sharpening it up good we used it on some pecan trees and had good results. Id say where technique is most important, it helps to have the right tool. If it is good enough for nut trees, it'll do whatever. You should get it real sharp for nice clean cuts.

Good quality

This is a great value and terrific tool, sharp and ready for use out of the box (unlike others I've tried). Yes, the single-sided bevel takes some getting used to, but as the experts say, it gives a straight cut every time. Takes some getting used to having to cut into you for some cuts, but patience and care plus practice does the job. I recommend you add the bark lifter to your kit (second from left in my photo), along with the pruner and flower knives. The bark lifter (not available at Amazon right now, for some reason) is a must-have for any under-bark graft job.
