 DR V3.3: Knife Sharpening or Bearing the Burr-don
Anyone who doubts that a sharp knife will change sound quality is encouraged to try to finish a reed with a dull knife, and then to make several scrapes with a sharp one.
When the knife has been newly sharpened, sometimes the burr is a little too big and unwieldy and may not become sharp "first time - every time." When this occurs, simply repeat the process on the finest sharpening stone.
Thus, once the initial angles are put on the knife, the honing process begins by placing the knife on the stone at an angle slightly smaller than optimum.
