You don't move the knife toward your thumb. They are motionless in
relation to each other. You draw them along the rootstock/scion with the
thumb sliding along the underside as the knife bites downward through the
material from the top side. You hold the scion with the left hand beyond
the point of the cut. The scion remains motionless as you pull your
(hopefully) near rigid hand toward you. I'd suggest stopping before you
reach your kidneys, though.

After
about 18 grafts pulling the knife towards me my thumb was looking like meat
loaf and switched to pushing. After 96 straight the thumb from the first 18
hurts the most. If I'm suppose to be drawing to myself how am I to avoid my
thumb?

Lisa,
Though it may go
against all the knife safety you were ever taught as a child, you pull
the knife toward you when you (whip and tongue) graft. It's not
particularly dangerous, but the movement is much easier to perform
after you've watched someone graft in person.
