A grafting knife is only angled one one side. The budding knives 683 are angled on both sides. Yes, I still have some of the knives. The handles have 2 holes drilled in them in them to be converted into patch budding knives. The folding budding knives have the hup[ at the front end of the blade for opening the bark. I do about 2000 plus a year for a wholeale nursery and prefer the 683. for small graft the Tina 685 is the one I prefer. The 685 sell for about $25.00. Womack nursery co is a good supplier for this one.
Any one wanting the 683 can contack me by private message or e-mail.
Biddinman,
Can the 683 HD for patch budding be taken apart and each knife be used individually?
