Zenport Grafting Knife K108 Budding and Grafting Knife with Sheath
This 7.87 x 1.18-inch (200 x 30mm) Zenport grafting knife features a 3.15-inch (80mm) stainless steel blade for grafting trees and vines. Blade’s cutting edge measures 2.45-inch (62mm) long. The blade’s cutting surface angle and unique shape works awesome for grafting and budding techniques used to join two parts of a plant so that they grow together and appear as a single plant. Includes a clear plastic sheath which can be attached to your belt.
Features a 4.72 x 1.18-inch (120 x 30mm) bright red non-slip grip plastic handle that is easy to identify if left out in the field. The blade is made of stainless steel making the knife easier to be sanitized which increases the likelyhood for a graft to take.
Reasons for grafting and budding:
Unlike budding, which can be performed before or during the growing season, most grafting is done during winter and early spring while both scion and rootstock are still dormant.
