Overview
Folding Vaccination Knife 17.8 cm with Bark Lifter Blade 6.6 cm made of Stainless Steel Black Handle Garden Knife for Grafting and Vaccination

The folding vaccination knife is a specialised gardening tool designed primarily for vaccination and grafting of fruit trees, shrubs, and roses. When opened, it measures 17.8 cm and the blade has a length of 6.6 cm. The blade, made of stainless steel, features a curved tip that helps guide precise cuts through bark and wood. After use, the blade folds into the handle, making the knife compact for storage in pockets or gardening bags. It is suitable for gardeners who want a single tool for all grafting tasks.

At the end of the handle, there is a bark lifter in the form of a flat black tip. It is used to lift the bark of the rootstock after making a T-shaped cut, allowing the insertion of a bud from a noble variety. The curved tip of the blade is also well-suited for making the T-shaped cut, which is most commonly used in vaccination. The handle is black, straight, and secured with gold-coloured rivets, ensuring a good grip for precise control of the knife. This allows for a single tool to be sufficient for both cutting and lifting the bark during vaccination, speeding up the process. The manufacturer's name is embossed on the blade. The knife is suitable for vaccinating apple trees, pear trees, cherry trees, apricot trees, peach trees, and roses, and can also be used for bark grafting. It is useful for removing small shoots or for tidying up minor wounds after cutting.

After each use, wipe the blade clean of plant juices and dirt, and allow it to dry before folding. When working on multiple trees, it is advisable to clean the blade regularly to prevent the transfer of diseases between plants. Occasionally clean the blade joint of dust and remnants of bark to ensure the knife opens and closes smoothly. Store the knife folded in a dry place and out of reach of children. To maintain sharpness, it is advisable to occasionally hone the blade on a fine whetstone.

This vaccination knife combines a sharp blade and a bark lifter in one compact tool. The curved blade of 6.6 cm allows for precise cuts, and the flat tip at the end of the handle facilitates the insertion of a bud under the bark. When opened, the knife measures 17.8 cm and comfortably fits in a pocket when folded. It will be appreciated by orchardists, gardeners, and rose growers who propagate their plants through vaccination. It is a practical tool for any gardening kit.
