Specifications

Where Can You Use It?

The Grafting Cutter is intended for horticultural and plant propagation work, particularly where grafting and pruning are part of routine plant maintenance.

It can be used for:

• Fruit tree grafting
• Orchards
• Plant nurseries
• Home gardens
• Horticultural propagation
• Garden plant maintenance
• Pruning unwanted branches
• Small-scale fruit plant production
• Grafting stock and donor stem preparation

The tool is particularly useful where growers need to make shaped cuts in compatible stems before joining the stock and donor plant.

How to Use the Grafting Cutter

Step 1: Prepare the plants

Select a suitable grafting stock and donor stem. The plant material should be suitable for grafting and should not be dry or excessively hard.

Step 2: Make the first grafting cut

Place the grafting stock into the appropriate cutting section of the tool. Squeeze the handles to make the shaped cut. Repeat the process on the donor stem, using the corresponding blade shape.

Step 3: Match the cut surfaces

Position the donor stem into the groove made in the stock plant. Align the two cut surfaces as closely as possible. If the stock and donor stem are not exactly the same size, align them on one side.

Step 4: Secure the graft

After matching the cut surfaces, protect and secure the grafted joint using suitable grafting or sterilizing material and tape.

Step 5: Prune unwanted branches

The pruning section of the tool can be used to remove unnecessary branches from the plant as part of routine maintenance.

Step 6: Select the appropriate blade

Choose the required V, U or Ω blade according to the type of grafting cut required.

Important Safety Precautions

• Keep the tool out of reach of children.
• Handle the blades carefully during use and replacement.
• Keep fingers away from the cutting area while operating the tool.
• Do not use the tool on dry or old hard wood.
• Use suitable protective gloves when handling sharp blades.
• Keep the cutting blades clean before and after grafting work.
• Use clean cutting surfaces when preparing grafting material.
• Store the tool safely when it is not in use.
• Keep the tool away from moisture during storage to help protect the cutting components.

Maintenance

Regular care helps keep the grafting cutter ready for accurate cutting work.

• Clean the blades after use.
• Remove plant residue from the cutting area.
• Keep the cutting edges free from dirt and sap buildup.
• Check the blade condition regularly.
• Replace or reposition blades when required.
• Keep the tool dry during storage.
• Store it in a safe place away from children.
• Clean the cutting surfaces before carrying out grafting work.

Why Use This Grafting Cutter?

Grafting requires compatible cuts between the stock plant and donor stem. A dedicated grafting cutter makes it easier to produce shaped cuts rather than relying only on a conventional pruning shear or knife.

The interchangeable V, U and Ω blade shapes provide different cutting options for grafting work. This makes the tool practical for growers who perform different types of plant propagation.

The same tool can also be used for pruning unwanted branches, making it useful for routine orchard, nursery and garden maintenance alongside grafting work.

For small-scale growers and gardeners, a manual grafting cutter provides a straightforward way to prepare plant stems for grafting without requiring powered equipment.
