A note I got from Cummins Nursery states:

"We have had graft union sensitivity with first Krymsk 86 and now Krymsk 1 in many varieties, we 
always lose an inordinate number of trees to breakage at the time of digging. The hope has been that 
these unions would strengthen over time, which does seem to happen in the case of many varieties. 
But all in all I think we are ready to abandon the Krymsk 1 for apricots (and peach, but not plum), 
in spite of the cold hardiness and the dwarfing qualities. For the spring 2014 season we are 
returning to the use of Manchurian"

So I would not graft peach onto K1 since it is incompatible with apricot and 
peach...
