There are a number of fact sheets that will help you with grafting. Here are a couple for you to consider: http://muextension.missouri.edu/xplor/agguides/hort/g06971.htm http://ag.arizona.edu/pubs/garden/mg/propagation/grafting.html A good sharp knife is best for grafting. Grafting knives can be purchased with a curved blade. You can use a pocket knife as long as it is kept sharp for good clean cuts.
