The double hollow ground knife with short blade is an extremely handy alternative for oboe reed making.

However, for those who wish to take a reed making knife in their hand luggage on a flight, we still recommend the ReedGeek products as even with this short blade, the double hollow ground reed knife is too long to be allowed in hand luggage.

The Italian family business Chiarugi, based in Trento, is one of the best-known names for reed-making accessories in the double-reed field. Chiarugi is world-famous above all for its staples: precisely made from brass or nickel silver, carefully corked and finished by hand. Among oboists they are regarded as a benchmark for consistency and quality and are available for almost every type of instrument – from oboe, oboe d'amore and cor anglais to the bass oboe and the classical and baroque oboe.

Beyond staples, Chiarugi produces an extensive range of tools and accessories for reed making, including shaper tips, mandrels, knives, plaques, goldbeater's (fish) skin and drying boards. With this combination of Italian craftsmanship and fine-mechanical precision, Chiarugi has established itself as a fixture in the international oboe trade.
