Reed Wizard Problem?

Author: Bill_D

Many years ago, I purchased a Reed Wizard directly from Ben Amato. He personally showed me how to use it. It was the original version with a file for a "blade". I gave up playing clarinet, and sold the Reed Wizard.

Now I'm playing the clarinet again. I purchased a used, current version, Reed Wizard. This one has the new style honing blade.

Problem: I've tried it on a bunch of clarinet reeds, and a few alto sax reeds. It does not remove any material. I wonder if the blade needs replacement or sharpening, or have reeds gotten thinner, or something else? Any thoughts?
