Re: Bevel edge or razor blade?

The best knife for you is whichever one you can keep the sharpest. It's really as simple as that. There are players making great reeds using both beveled and double hollow ground. If you can keep a good edge on the knife you're using, no need to change. If not, perhaps experiment with other types of blades and see if you get better results. I doubt if I know any two oboists who actually agree on which reed knife is the best!

Cheers,
Drew
