Anyone have a sharpening stone for the bevelled reed knife they are happy
with? I'm looking for recommendations before I call Weiner. What's this
"diamond" sharpener I see here for 30-odd bucks?

The diamond sharpener tears up knives rather quickly (the kinfe will only
last 2 or 3 years) (so buy a new one) but the trade off is worth it because
it sharpens so quickly.
Ask the oboe list obout sharpeners. This is my experience as a doubler.
