@EaubeauHorn: In Stevens Hewitt's book, Method for Oboe, which I highly recommend, he points out that "The first secret of reed making is a sharp knife. The second secret of reed making is a sharp knife." This is absolutely true.
Westwind Double Reed (me, by the way...) has just designed a knife sharpening fixture which holds your knife at exactly the same angle as you sharpen it and each time thereafter, which is the most difficult part of sharpening a knife. Using it you should be able to get a perfect scraping edge on your knife that lasts through several reeds. And since you are resharpening at the same angle, it takes only moments to re-hone your edge when it does need sharpening again.
Email me at <bob@westwinddoublereed.com> and I'll tell you more...
