There is a razor type lock-back pocket knife in my box that was advertised as a pocket grafting knife but I will have to check out one with a "grippy-rubber neoprene-like handle."

Pretty close to the same thing. I really recommend the lock-back to folks ( yowch!)
I think the one I have was maybe a Frost Cutlery knife but I've seen many. If you remember seeing old razors the blades are sorta hollow-ground, very similar to grafting knives. I imagine cheaper?
BTW, everyone I've seen doing grafting in the last several years used....
single edged razor blades :>)
Throw away when done or after getting dull.

i can't recommend two tools enough:
A set of EZE-LAP diamond paddles
and
"PULL" 90 degree knife ( comes in R or L hand) with wood handle "Flexcut"
