I agree with Mark: even if you don't chip the blade accidentally, it will need sharpening. And it's a slicing knife, not a scraper and the Kyocera folks will resharpen it as a slicer. I'd avoid anything you can't sharpen yourself. Nothing is more deadly to reed making than the knife that is too dull to cut really well but not dull enough to motivate you to sharpen it yet...
As to wooden plaques, I've used them almost exclusively for years and love the fact that, because the arch of the cane is supported, you can take wood off of one particular area without including the adjacent areas. It also doesn't dull the knife like a steel one does. I can make four or five reeds before I need to resharpen my knife and I am a sharp knife fanatic! Try one; you'll like it...
