Grafting vegging growth to flowering root stock

I've been thinking about how I'm going to cut a V without either ruining/splitting the V itself or cutting myself open with the stanley.

I've the option of putting the plant on the chopping board but that wouldn't always be possible, thanks for posting that tool I'll check it out.
Update...
Getting the plant into a position to do the V cut is a pain.
I used a piece of wood pressed against the stem to give me something solid to cut against.

I've been busy with other things but I'm planning to put a 3rd pheno onto it.

View attachment 5171363 These look like a good investment?
Ive since had the chance to check these out they're not ideal for our purposes the cuts are too wide and in too short, generally I'm working with thinner shoots.
The cut from them doesn't leave enough surface area to help fuse the graft successfully.

I've since found that you can literally split the stem and place in your graft in, put a cube around it and it'll be good, you get roots growing in the cube but when you remove it they dry out and die off.
