Knife sharpening for oboe reed knives (double hollow-ground)?
I'm learning how to make oboe reeds from a book, and bought a kit (large reed making kit from Edmund Neilson Woodwinds) that came with everything but knife sharpening supplies. My mother is a sculptor, and had a knife sharpener, but it wasn't the same as I've had reccomened to me. Most the tips offer a water-stone, or an oil-stone, but what I have is honing paste and a leather strop. Would that work for my reed knife, or should I let my mom keep it for her sculpting work? I really need to sharpen ky knife so I can attempt my second reed. I think it'll be fine, I mean, it IS made to sharpen knives, but I've never heard about the honing paste with leather strop before I recieved it.
Thank you; I really hope someone knows what I'm talking about!

They'll hook you up with everything you need, and it's all decently priced.
Double hollowed-ground is a good knife, and I would recommend a diamond sharpening stone. You can use a strop, but stones are probably better. And in reed making, keep your knife sharp, it helps.
If you have more questions, please email me at hoboefly@gmail.com. I'll do my best to answer your questions, and if I can't, I can easily find someone who can.
