Author discusses how to scrape and sharp an oboe reed. Several knives of different properties such as sharpness and weight are used, and the author lets you know why he uses each one. He also delves in to how to avoid cutting straight through the reed and also damage control for when there are small splints and/or unevenness in the cuts.
