This tool pairs heavy-duty carbide scraper blades with a comfortable handle for precision scraping.
The square and triangular blades make short work of removing paint or dried glue squeeze-out, especially in inside corners, and the round blade is useful wherever a concave area or rounded groove needs work. Radiused corners on the square and triangular blades help prevent gouging, and unlike chisels there is no risk of digging in and removing more wood than intended. When one edge dulls, rotate the blade to use a fresh edge.
The square blade is just under 5/8" on each side, the triangular blade just under 7/8" on each side, and the round blade just over 5/8" in diameter; all are 5/64" thick. The handle fits comfortably in your palm and transitions smoothly into the strong stainless-steel bolster for a larger contact area and better control.
Facts:
Handle and three blades (one of each style)
Overall length 5 5/8"

Specific References
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.
