Reed making burnishing rod, sharpening steel

Burnishing rods, also known as sharpening steels, are a great tool to have for reed makers of all levels. They help to establish a strong burr on reed knives, especially wedge, double hollow ground, and razor style blades. This particular burnishing rod features an attractive contoured, hard-wood handle. The steel is 6 inches long with a flat tip.  I highly suggest using this sharpening steel with the thin blade reeds knives sold here.  Thin Blade oboe reed knife R.Murphy knife
