Susan, as a short-scraper, I have been advised to use a curved plaque for general scraping. I've heard it helps maintain the curved nature of the reed as you take cane out of it. Don't know if it's true, but after years of adjusting with a flat plaque, I did like using the curved one for actual scraping of reeds, but happy to use the flat for tips - makes sense!
Thankyou, plisca, my teacher was impressed the first time he saw my knife technique and couldn't believe I had never made reeds before. I am, however, very involved in crafts, particularly paper crafts, so I use a variety of blades for that and I am used to dealing with proportions on a small scale. I'd like to think my humble hobby has counted for something!
