Frequently Asked Questions
What is a grafting knife used for?
A grafting knife makes precise cuts for joining plant tissues in grafting and budding operations in nurseries and orchards. The sharp, thin blade creates smooth union surfaces for horticultural propagation work.
What is the difference between a grafting and a budding knife?
Grafting knives have straight or slightly curved blades for making flat cuts. Budding knives include a small spatula on the opposite end for lifting bark flaps during bud insertion in T-budding operations used in nursery and orchard work.
Do you sell replacement blades for horticulture knives?
Yes. We carry replacement blades for select horticulture knife models. Keeping blades sharp and clean is critical for clean cuts that reduce disease transmission in landscaping and forestry pruning work.
