 Believe that at one time you said you had a grafting knife you loved but 
somehow I lost the note on what it was.  Can you repeat please?

 Question?  When you buy a new knife, it has a small bevel on both sides 
the blade.  Some people sharpen and place a bevel on only one side of the 
blade.   Assuming you are right handed and hold the knife in the right hand 
with the scion in the left hand.  You are cutting away from your body to 
place a taper on the end of the scion.  Would the bevel be on the side 
closest to the wood or the top you can see? I heard two different versions 
and am curious what is used among grafters that use very sharp knives.   Thanks
