The original ReedGeek, like all ReedGeeks, is manufactured 100% from scratch, made of our highest quality USA hard alloy and heat treated to maximum hardness. The ReedGeek "Classic" also implements our new, medical grade, corrosion-resistant, edge-retention process. It possesses the original four crisp planing edges, two rail adjustors, the "pencil eraser" radius tip and the square back for scraping and profiling that users have found indispensable. Encased in our proprietary self-locking neoprene bag and case, this 'Geek will give its owner consistently great-playing reeds!
