I.M.O. it's rubbish! Especially for a home-grower with many different size wood,...this one would slow me down.

A little pricy at US$650 if you're doing a handful of grafts a year, but definitely useful if you're thinking about commercially propagating.

I ordered the shears, a little better at $200 with air shipping; a better YouTube video is at the link below. I don't think diehard stalwarts will give up their Tina grafting knife, but for those who shouldn't be around sharp objects it's quite a bit safer...

I think i paid $20 for my grafting knife. If that thing is $600+...that is insane. Just wait until the Chinese get their hands on one.

A person handy with tools could make a small wooden or aluminum block with grooves drilled in at the appropriate angle -Konrad, are you listening?- and designed to be held in the hand with the scionwood or rootstock in place while one makes the cut with his trusty Tina. Could prevent a cut now and then.

Similarly a paper trimmer type blade with the block on it could do it pretty quickly, and contribute to accuracy in the cut. I could use something to keep me from twisting the scion as I cut it!

Good..spam gone!

LOL...yes Mark, I'm listening but it wouldn't serve me much good
when I do 99% bark grafting the way I like it.
