Does anyone have any experience using this blade shape for actual pruning and grafting tasks? I'm curious if other more modern tools do a better job and have put these blade shapes out of business in that regard?

Grafting fruit scion is a skill I would like to develop, but don't have yet. So I'm wondering if these are truly a viable option (and I can justify picking one up) :) or if they're just pretty cardboard box openers nowadays thanks to handheld scissor cut shears and the like.
