Puma . This is a right hand model. How do you tell you might ask. Typically grafting knives are only sharpened on one side. While holding in your right hand the sharpened edge will be facing you. If it was a left hand blade it would be opposite.
This was a little on the dull side so I put it in the lansky clamp and used a fine stone to smooth it up.
The nub on top is for lifting the bark to expose the cambium layer. It isn't sharp .
Having just one edge sharpened helps to make a smooth cut so both pieces of wood will go together without voids that would hinder healing .
