If you want a Tina grafting knife($45-62.50) I'd recommend Womacks of DeLeon, 
TX 254-893-6497.  They also have a Victorinox folding grafting knife for $10. 
 I have used the Victorinox but don't think it is practical for budding, only 
cleft and whip/tongue as the blade is not very thin.  I use a stationary 
grafting knife with a thin blade I bought for $12 to good effect with 
budding.  I am highly entertained by all the discussions about what kind of 
knife you can use in place of a grafting knife for grafting when the genuine 
article is only $10 and what is a good substitute for grafting tape when it 
is only $1.50 for 300 feet from Womacks!
