The ALTUNA 8420 is a practical folding grafting knife designed for grafting, budding and precision work on plants. Its compact folding design makes it easy to carry and store, while the integrated budding tip allows for delicate and accurate work when preparing buds and separating plant material.
The knife is particularly useful for fruit trees, vines, ornamental plants and nursery work, where clean and precise cuts are essential for successful grafting and budding.
HOW TO USE
The ALTUNA 8420 can be used for preparing both the rootstock and scion during grafting. Use the sharp blade to make smooth, controlled cuts, creating surfaces that fit closely together.
For budding, the integrated tip can be used to carefully lift or separate the bark and prepare the area where the bud will be inserted.
After positioning the graft or bud, secure it with suitable grafting tape or another appropriate binding material and protect the graft until the union is established.
