Burnisher with a polished solid carbide shank, 102 mm long and 6.4 mm in diameter, in a cherry handle. For turning a burr on scrapers.
Turning a burr on a scraper needs a hard, highly polished surface. The Lie-Nielsen burnisher has a polished solid carbide shank that is harder than the scraper steel and gives an even burr.
The shank is held in a cherry handle with a flared brass bolster that protects your fingers while burnishing.
Suits, for example, the Lie-Nielsen Hand Scraper Set (1-HSet).
Solid carbide shank, length 102 mm (4"), diameter 6.4 mm (1/4"). Cherry handle, brass bolster.

Specific References
Most Lie-Nielsen plane blades, chisels and mortise chisels are made of A2 tool steel. The steel is cryogenically treated, hardened to 60–62 HRC and double tempered, and takes and holds a very fine edge for a long time.
The blades are surface ground on the top, back and edge, so they quickly take a mirror finish. Some tools are available in O1 carbon steel, which gets very sharp and is easy to sharpen. The product name then says O1.
A card scraper is a thin steel plate that scrapes smooth surfaces, especially on difficult wood. It is sharpened in three steps: the edge is filed straight, honed smooth and then turned into a small burr with a burnisher. The burr is what cuts.
When the scraper stops making shavings, you can often turn the burr again with the burnisher. The guide shows it step by step.
