... HAH! my absolutely BIGGEST rookie mistake was buying an "official" reed knife that doesn't ergonomically fit in my own hand, doesn't balance the knife's weight on the burr in the right place to hold it appropriately, ratio between junction of blade and handle wrong for my hand to hold it safely, basically too long a knife blade for the job ... I've filleted several reed spines with that machete!

Always select any precision cutting tool ergonomically to hand ... not the other way around ... methinks men's larger hands like the official reed knife, but they're wrong for smaller women's hands
