Chiarugi Beveled Knife

Single flat blade knife made of special alloy steel, tempered, and grounded.

I prefer this kind of knife over a double hollow ground variants because it is easier to sharpen. As a bassoonist, I'm not very proficient when it comes to sharpening a knife compare to my oboe friends so this is a huge help. And because it made of thicker steel, it is heavier. It takes a bit more cane off without having to put a lot of force into each stroke that helps me finish a reed much faster.
