There was a topic on this tool last week which showed this tool that was purchased from a fellow member. Looked good to me so i bought the same one. The tool its self is well made for the money. 20 dollers was the cost so i figured it would be kind of cheap. Surprisingly nicly made eady to use. Very sharp blades. No bruising or damage to cutting. Here a few pics. Look close to the pic of cutting put back together after being cut. Nice fit. Will post pics of a real graft after rain stops. Richie

That does look pretty clean . Nice fit...... Tks for posting it...

My wife bought me one for Christmas I,m anxious for the weather to warm up so I can try it

That is very nice and clean indeed. Got me interested in purchasing that one as well... will have to think about this now, more projects for the summer... thanks for sharing.

Thanks for feedback guys.

I made the original post. I have been doing practice cuts with mine, use a small crescent wrench or calipers to match size and you will not find a tighter fit anywhere.

It does look like a quality graft but the proof is in the pudding.  Ritchie and others who use one of these tools, please keep us updated.

Pellazophoto. Took your advice and used a caliper to match the cutting to motger tree it was getting dark so did a rush job. But as you can see in photo. Very nice clean job. This tool is fun to use. You have to look were the blade is setting on cutting before cutting it. Line it up in middle. Depending on size of stock you have to postion it properly in the middle. this is a lsu st Gabriel black fig to a ischia. I put grafting tape over the zip tie. This was not the proper way to do this. Was getting,dark outside and wanted to post some pics of the joining area fit.

Cool stuff Richard. I got the exact one from Amazon for $17 plus a roll of grafting tape. I will be doing a bunch of grafting this weekend! Thanks for sharing and good luck with your grafting.

Wow, very nice!  I did not realize they could be that inexpensive.  I will be grafting in a couple weeks and have one on order, thanks for sharing!

Yes they are really fun to play with for sure. Cant wait to see my first graft make a bud!!!!

  Мне нравится делать прививки нож - омега. У них прививки 2 лет.

nice job Richard. i hope you used grafting tape like you said or it will not take.
the union needs to be air and water tight.


ChrisK i think its early for you to do it.
you need to have the tree pushing buds open and then you graft.
if its a potted plant make sure you have watered it well the day before.
the graft must be out of sun until it takes.

good luck to all who try it. make sure you use the omega or the U cutter not the V.
the V is for much softer wood.

  Here is a compound with a knife omega.

All the grafts shown look great.  Please keep us informed on their progress.  If they take this would certainly be a handy tool to pick up.

Андреас ,    that's a good job. Grafting on persimmon in 2013.

Vladis, your tree looks like it's covered in scale.  I'd get that off ASAP.

any updates on these grafts and tool?

I haven't done any grafting before, but my grandpa was very into it.  Are you grafting cuttings right onto live trees?

I didn't get any omega ones with mine. Just v shaped ones. :(

Where did you guys purchase theses cutting tools?

  Mine included the Omega and both 'U' and 'V' blades for $20 with free shipping from Amazon.
