I would think that the problem with using reed knives to flatten the back of a reed is three fold. First, reed knives seldom have a true straight edge. Close perhaps, but rarely true. Second, they're seldom as sharp as a good machine tool. Third, knives have much less heft, so that when pushed or pulled across the back of a reed, they won't of their own accord "find" the high spots and remove them. In short, the design of the Reed Geek tool is based on some solid logic from a mechanical point of view. How well it works would have to assessed by trying it. Everything else is speculation.

Incidentally, assuming it's well made, $30 dollars does not to me seem like a high price. What does a box of reeds cost these days?
