The 641/10 Budding Knife is widely used for budding roses.  It has a bark lifter on the back of the blade, 45mm standard pattern hand forged blade and polished Walnut handle.

Beautifully shaped budding knife with a bark stripper on the back of the blade; the pointed blade tip makes this knife particularly suitable for roses. The hand-forged blade made of carbon steel (61 HRC) has a folding mechanism and features superb sharpness and durability. The polished walnut handle scales allow the knife to rest comfortably in the hand, even during longer periods of use. Single bevel.

Also known as bud grafting, this technique involves placing one of the scion's eyes in a stock. Here, the blade tip on the budding knife is adapted to suit the different plant species (vines, fruit trees, roses) for which it is used. This type of knife also possesses a bark stripper to expose the cambium on the stock. The stripper is designed either as a separate tool or fitted to the back of the knife's blade. Single bevel for precise stripping of the bud.
