    By the Way ... Grafting Knives: Beyond the Right/Left-Handed Distinction.

    The distinction of grafting knives based solely on the dominant hand (right or left) may not be the most technically accurate or commercially effective approach. We suggest redefining the categorization based on the working method or the specificity of the cut. It is essential to recognize that even a left-handed operator might find the use of a traditionally "right-handed" knife indispensable for performing specific cuts that require a certain angle or movement. The same principle applies, of course, to the right-handed operator who might need a "left-handed" knife for analogous tasks. This more nuanced perspective allows us to offer a more versatile range of products and to educate the customer to choose the most suitable tool for the grafting technique they intend to perform, rather than limiting the selection based on laterality.
