Do you recommend that I get a landwell Knife? My rigotti knives are suffering 😭

[@the.musical_yogi]

@@LuinorLLL landwell knives are by far my favorite, but rigotti knives are just as good. I just like the way the handle of the landwell fits in my hand. :)

@ Your tutorial helped me burr the knife a few times but I incorrectly sharpened the knife before watching a guide. Now my wedge knife’s blade looks funny and my beveled knife’s end of the blade won’t burr.

How would I tell what hardness the cane is for cheap. These oboe-specific Hardness indicators are very expensive

[@the.musical_yogi]

@@LuinorLLL you know, I’ve never really tested my cane for hard hardness. A lot of people do, but I learn to make reeds just fine without that added expense. I experimented with different varieties of cane until I found stuff I liked, and I’ve just stuck with it.
