The Japanese Tanushimaru-gata Mikihisa grafting knife is a traditional tool designed for professional grafting, arboriculture, and precision horticultural work. Forged using traditional Japanese hot and cold forging methods, its Aogami #2 (Blue Steel #2) blade offers exceptional sharpness, excellent edge retention, and great durability, ensuring clean cuts that promote successful grafts.

Its slightly curved blade, inspired by traditional Tanushimaru knives from Kyushu, naturally grips wood fibers and allows for smooth pull cuts without slipping. The polished Migaki finish enhances its elegance and resistance, while its Japanese magnolia wood sheath effectively protects the blade. Ideal for scion preparation, rootstock cutting, delicate debarking, and precision orchard work, this artisanal Japanese knife is a favored choice for demanding professionals and enthusiasts.
