DIY cleft graft knife... this time in the right section

cavey

5 year old buck +
I dropped this into the native habitat section by mistake . I watched some commercial operations cleft grafting an orchard and the workers were using cut down kitchen knives. I have never done a cleft graft and figured some day I would have to give it a whirl. So.... I got a discounted clever at target and on this snow day I took some time to make one.
