James Pyne sells a reed knife that is made by the makers of the Swiss Army
Knife. I bought my first one from David Shifrin and it was stolen a few
years later. I received my second one from Pyne.....and, as far as I am
concerned, it is far superior than others on the market....perhaps because
it retains an edge far longer than even the best double hollow ground
knives. It is remarkably easy to sharpen also.

I recommend this knife to anyone who works on reeds!
