A grafter, or grafting knife, is a garden tool used for grafting fruit trees, usually a small knife made of thin metal. The blade of a grafting knife is beveled, or curved, on one side and flat on the other, so that it can cut cleanly through wood with a flat cut that gives the greatest possible contact area in the finished graft. Grafting knives are meant to be sharpened after every use.
