trev's has the reamer I use. Its the solid taper one and I love it. Its the fourth item over in the tool package http://www.trevsglass.com/id1.html on that page. They aren't close to you though but they are definetly reasonable on pricing.

The best is Menzies hands down, I have the deluxe 2-15 and its primo, its so nice that I tend not to use it cuz I dont wanna mess it up.

I got the cheap 10 dollar pencil reamer from generations and its awesome. I would get one of these and a menzies if I were you.

isn't menzie's site down though? the pencil reamer seemers pretty ideal since i could sharpen it down over time easily

i use the same one big jay has and i love it. i have had it for 3 years now and its still goin strong. i use it in the flame a lot so the handle burned away and i mounted it into something that can take the heat. it is the graphite tool i use the most....

I think Trevs might have menzies reamers in stock, not sure.

If you use the pencil reamer correctly you wont need to sharpen it for a while. I got one for me and one for my buddy who is still a noob, mine looks brand new, his already has a dull ass end.
