We all know one of the keys to reed-making is having a sharp knife. Getting a good cutting edge from your knife doesn't have to be difficult or time-consuming! Check out our latest tool, which allows you to consistently raise a burr effortlessly.

Made from anodized and cored aluminum, this light-weight tool holds a beveled knife at a consistent angle to the sharpening stone, eliminating guesswork and allowing anyone to raise a consistent and controlled burr.

A note on shipping gougers
Going forward, we will be sending customers gougers in plastic boxes with strong latches, which protects gougers whether transporting locally or shipping through the mail. Priced at $12, this item will appear on customers’ invoices beginning in September.

We also ask that customers sending gougers to us for servicing pack their machines in this plastic box, then pack that inside a free USPS box. Please include a note inside the box explaining the status of the blade, recent repair history, and any specific problems. This will minimize confusion caused by the number of machines we receive.
