Review on Grafting Gardening Knife For Budding Pruning With Grafting Tape And Plant Labels/Tree Tags by Nathan Tank

Revainrating 2 out of 5

This is NOT a true grafting knife

This looked like a nice package of grafting equipment, but once you open the knife, you know it's not the right thing. True grafting knives are beveled on just one side (to allow you to make straight cuts), while this one has two beveled sides. The hooked blade, for bud grafting, may work just fine, but that's not what I got it for. Besides the knife, the tags, wires, and sealing material should be useful (though the sealing stuff is essentially plastic wrap, not waxy parafilm). I'll be buying another knife that is meant to do the job.

Pros
  • Great
Cons
  • The grafting tape may be difficult to remove after the graft has healed, causing potential damage to the plant
