Buying guide

Choosing Grafting Knives

Buying guide

Straight, flat or curved: the grafting blade question

Grafting depends on one clean, flat cut, so blade shape matters more here than anywhere else in our folding range.

Straight blades: the standard choice for whip-and-tongue and cleft grafts on fruit trees.
Bark lifter: models such as the Black Horn Handle Grafting Knife with Bark Lifter add a small spatula to open the bark for budding, so one tool does both jobs.
Curved and flat blades: a curved edge helps with some budding cuts, while flat-blade models like the Reddish Wood Handle Flat-Blade Grafting Knife give a long, straight stroke.
All-steel: the All-Steel Pocket Grafting Knife, only 7.2 cm long, is easy to disinfect between plants.

Most handles measure 8 or 10 cm, in teak, acacia, black horn, white bone or white and black ABS, the last being the most practical for nursery staff because it washes easily. Blades run from 5.5 to 8.5 cm. A horticultural supplier can cover most needs with one straight grafting knife, one bark-lifter model and one all-steel version. On arrival, check that the edge is keen enough to cut paper cleanly, since a grafting cut must never tear the tissue under the bark.

Care & maintenance

Clean cuts need a clean blade

A grafting blade spends its working life in sap, moving from plant to plant, so hygiene matters as much as sharpness.

Disinfect the blade between plants, or at least between rows, with a cloth moistened in 70% alcohol; it limits the spread of viral and bacterial diseases.
Remove dried sap with warm soapy water, then dry the blade and the slot in the handle.
Hone often: a few strokes on a fine stone or a leather strop keep the very keen edge that clean grafts rely on.
A drop of light oil on the pivot keeps the blade opening smoothly on cold spring mornings.
Wipe horn and bone handles; ABS and all-steel models tolerate more thorough washing.

Looked after this way, a Pakistan steel knife made for grafting will see many seasons in the nursery.

Questions & answers

Grafting knife questions from nurseries

Are knives made in Pakistan any good?

A grafting knife is unforgiving, which makes it a fair test. It should arrive with an even edge along its full length, a blade that sits centred when closed and, where fitted, a bark lifter smooth enough not to tear the bark. Established Pakistan knife makers in Sialkot have produced horticultural knives for export for a long time, and those checks tell you whether a batch meets your standard.

What is the grafting knife price in Pakistan?

Unit prices are listed on each product page, shown in rupees (PKR) for visitors in Pakistan. Nurseries and agricultural suppliers usually buy by the dozen, and the price per knife falls as quantities grow. Send the models and numbers you need on WhatsApp or email for a wholesale quote.

Do I need a model with a bark lifter?

For budding, where a bud is slipped under a flap of bark, the lifter saves time and avoids carrying a second tool. For whip-and-tongue or cleft grafting, a plain straight blade is all you need.
