Budding & Grafting Knives

Patch Budding Knife

We have added this Patch Budding knife to our range of budding knives.

This knife is ideal for patch budding pecans and walnuts.

The double blade creates 2 parallel cuts that ensure the "patch" containing the bud[scion] is the same size as the patch on the root stock receiving it.

The blades - 30mm apart - are made from high carbon steel to keep the edge sharper for longer and they fold up when the knife is not is use.

The handle is made from walnut and the linings and bark lifter are made from brass.

Sharpening Tool

In order for a budding knife to deliver outstanding results on a continuous basis it needs to be kept sharp.

Use the Bahco SHARP-X sharpening tool to keep the blade in good condition. The tool is equipped with 2 Tungsten carbide bits that will give many years of use.

The 2 component handle makes it comfortable to use. You no longer need to add a liquid such as oil, water or diesel so the sharpening of knife blades is a pleasure.
