Questions & answers

Grafting questions from nursery buyers

What does a grafting knife like this cost in Pakistan?

US$3.38 per piece (PKR 1,446 for buyers in Pakistan). From 50 pieces the price drops to US$2.37 per piece. For a larger order, send us the quantity on WhatsApp or by email and we will quote a lower rate.

Can I use it for pruning as well?

It is happiest grafting. The squared-off tip slides under bark and the short flat blade leaves clean, level faces on scion wood, but cutting back thick branches calls for a hooked edge. For that, the larger teak-handled model in the range with a hooked blade makes the better partner.

Sharpening

Squared tip, keen edge: a whetstone routine

A graft only takes if the two cut faces meet cleanly, so the edge matters more here than on almost any other garden tool.

Lay the 5.5 cm blade on a fine whetstone, around 1000 grit, and follow the bevel already ground on the edge rather than inventing a new one; for fine garden work an angle of about 15 to 20 degrees is usual.
Draw the edge across the stone in light, even strokes from the bolster end to the tip, keeping the angle steady instead of pressing hard.
Treat the squared corner gently. Rounding it off spoils the very point that slips under bark.
Finish on a leather strop, then slice a sheet of paper: a well-honed grafting knife glides through without catching.

Pro tip

Rehearse the cut on willow first

Before touching valuable scion wood, make a dozen practice cuts on willow or hazel shoots about as thick as a pencil. Aim for one long, flat, slanting face made in a single smooth draw, with the fingers of your holding hand kept well behind the line of the blade. The short 5.5 cm blade and 8 cm teak handle keep the knife close to the hand, so the rhythm comes quickly.

Did you know?

One seedling, millions of Granny Smith trees

Apple pips do not grow true to their parent, so named varieties survive only by grafting. Every Granny Smith tree in the world descends from a single chance seedling found near Sydney in the 1860s, multiplied one scion at a time. Nurseries still raise it the same way, and a compact Pakistan knife with a wood handle, such as this teak model, is the kind of tool that work relies on.
