Project Title Adjustable Grafting Knife
Project Category Innovation
Abstract Grafting or budding is a common nursery process in which the bud of one plant or flower is taken and grown on another. The existing grafting knife requires great hand and thumb skill and control to make several cuts across bark of the small branches. The Adjustable Grafting Knife is a quality tool for budding and grafting of plants featuring a stainless adjustable rounded steel blade combined with a bark cutter and lifter folded into the handle. The rounded steel blade of the Adjustable Grafting Knife can grip the stem and cut the bark around at the time adjusted according to the required dimension based on the size of the branch. The bark lifter acts as a knife and lifts the bark at the same time during the grafting process. Therefore the task of grafting is made quicker, easier, safer and more economical for the producers in the agriculture industry.
