Oculating knives & hook knives for nurseries & hobby gardeners

Oculating knife with center point and hooked blade

The oculating knife from Victorinox is a special knife used in horticultural techniques, particularly in the process of oculating (grafting). Oculating is a method of vegetative propagation of plants in which a part of a plant (the eye or bud, also known as the oculus) is transferred to another plant (the rootstock or rootstock) in order to produce a genetically identical copy of the desired plant. The oculating knife is characterized by a sharp and narrow blade. It is designed to make precise cuts in order to cut the oculus from one plant and then insert it into the rootstock of the other plant. Often the knife also has a special handle that allows good control during the oculating process. The oculating and hooking knife is an indispensable tool for precise oculating. It has a separate brass bark remover, a sharp blade with a central point and a small hooked blade for precise cuts on branches, stems and foliage.
