I get away with a lot in grafting fruit trees, wouldn’t call it 100%, more like luck. Been doing it since the seventies. Some of my tools are that old. Bought Tina stuff for about $ 25.00.than. That’s going way back.

How do you like that wood carving knife for grafting?
It’s hard steel, broke the tip of at an Slight angle to use for t-budding, very comfortable.

Thjat third tool from the right looks like a Dexter boning knife that’s been ground down for grafting, am I right? Looks just like mine!
No, it’s a Russel Green River knife. Use that one for top working, using along with a hammer, cleft and V-(bark/cleft). Markings are on the blade.
Also have a bread knife, that doesn’t have hardly any teeth left. Wife still uses it almost everyday.

It looks like you’re handy with the stained glass work as well as grafting.
Used to have a stained glass art/restoration shop, mostly antique restoration shop.
