KNIFE MAINTENANCE KIT BY JENDE

The Jende Knife Maintenance Kit is a thoughtfully designed, one-of-a-kind companion for oboists who want to get the very best from their tools. Bringing together precision, practicality, and a touch of elegance, this kit equips you with everything you need to monitor and maintain your knife edge with confidence.

At its core is the Edge Tester - a deceptively simple tool that offers remarkable insight into your knife’s condition. It allows you to assess the edge quickly and safely, no thumbnail required. With regular use, your sensitivity to its feedback sharpens, helping you detect even the subtlest imperfections and differences in edge finish.

The included Folding Steel is lightweight, compact, and impressively effective. It realigns and revitalizes a tired burr without removing material, giving you consistent control over your edge. Used both before sharpening and as a finishing touch, it allows you to “personalize your burr,” tailoring the knife to your scraping style rather than the other way around.

All components are neatly housed in a durable zippered tool pouch with space for your essential reed-making tools - cutting blocks, mandrels, rulers, and more - making it as convenient as it is comprehensive.

Detailed instructions for both tools are included, guiding you toward a more refined, responsive, and enjoyable reed-making experience.
