Grafter

A grafter, or grafting knife, is a garden tool used for grafting fruit trees. The grafter is usually in the form of a small knife made of thin metal. It allows for an incision to be made on the branches or trunk of the rootstock for the insertion of the graft.

For the "grafter" in the sense of political corruption, see Graft (politics).
