JENDE ORIGINAL REED KNIFE

The Jende Original Reed Knife is a celebration of craftsmanship - where time-honoured technique meets the nuanced demands of reed making. Each knife is thoughtfully crafted using traditional knife-making methods, resulting in a tool that feels as refined as it performs.

Made from high-quality Japanese steel, the blade is carefully shaped and double hollow ground before being hardened and tempered to a Rockwell rating of 58–60. The result is an edge that balances strength and resilience, offering both durability and a consistently responsive feel on the cane.

Every knife is then meticulously polished and hand-sharpened using Shapton Professional stones up to an impressive #8,000 grit, producing a keen, smooth edge ready for the most delicate work.

Available in both right- and left-handed options, the Jende Original Reed Knife is designed to become a natural extension of your hand—reliable, precise, and quietly exceptional.
