I bought the reedmaking kit from Charles as it had the option of a Landwell knife with it. I believe Forrests now does the same thing.
The good thing about these kits is that the one I got had some cane a staples. While it wasn't good cane, it gave me a chance to practice tying and basic scraping without destroying expensive cane I had bought.
I worked with my hands a lot before reedmaking as well, Paula, I am a papercrafter. I have used a lot of sharp implements in my time, and it seems to have paid off!
Martin Schuring's ASU reedmaking site is fairly informative. I don't make American scrape reeds, but I wish for a similar resource for short scrape reeds.
And this board has been fantastic for advice for me as a beginning reedmaker, and that doesn't cost you a cent!
