How to Use Your Grafting Knife

For best results when grafting:

1. Keep it Sharp: A sharp grafting knife is essential. Hone the blade before each use with a sharpening stone.
2. Clean Cuts: Make smooth, confident cuts in one motion. Avoid sawing back and forth.
3. Match Cambium Layers: The key to successful grafting is aligning the cambium layers of scion and rootstock.
4. Work Quickly: Complete grafts promptly to prevent drying of cut surfaces.
5. Sterilize Between Uses: Wipe blade with alcohol when moving between different plants to prevent disease transmission.

Care & Maintenance

To keep your grafting knife in peak condition:

• Wipe blade clean and dry after each use
• Apply light oil to prevent rust (especially important for high carbon steel)
• Store in a dry place, preferably in a protective sheath
• Sharpen regularly with a fine sharpening stone
• Never use for prying or cutting wire – this is a precision tool
