 Re: Hand shaping cane and the knife to do it

I do use a disposable razor for shaping cane on a shaper tip. However, I'm trying to figure out how to shape WITHOUT a tip. I was taught how to make baroque reeds and he doesn't use a shaper. He just holds the cane in his hand and uses a knife to get it to width and then starts shaping the curve by eye. I couldn't do it with my double hollow ground knife because it's set up for scraping, so that's why I got this beveled knife, but maybe I should have just gotten a straight edge (can't just use a blade because it is dangerous...I tried it). Since I have the beveled knife now, how do you sharpen the thing for HAND shaping?
