Planalto - Stainless Steel Grafting Knife by José Da Cruz
The Planalto grafting knife by José Da Cruz is a cutting tool designed for grafting work in horticulture and arboriculture. The grafting knife is distinguished from the classic garden knife by the specific shape of its blade, generally featuring a spatula or a bevel adapted to lift the bark without damaging the cambium, that vital layer essential to graft take.
The stainless steel blade is the main asset of this model: stainless steel resists corrosion caused by plant moisture and exposure to the elements, which guarantees increased durability compared to untreated steels. It retains a reliable edge after sharpening and withstands the conditions of prolonged outdoor use.
The Planalto stainless steel grafting knife is suitable for bud grafting, cleft grafting or crown grafting, depending on the technique chosen by the gardener or arborist. For a successful graft, the blade must be clean and perfectly sharp in order to make clean cuts, limiting the risk of infection and promoting rapid healing of plant tissue. Regular honing on a sharpening steel or a fine whetstone extends the tool's cutting performance.
The José Da Cruz brand is recognised in the world of cutlery and quality cutting tools. Enthusiasts of quality folding blade knives will find in this grafting knife the same attention to finish and edge reliability that is the hallmark of the brand.
The Planalto grafting knife is aimed equally at amateur gardeners wishing to propagate their fruit trees and at nursery professionals looking for a robust and easy-to-handle tool for everyday use.
