The rectangular model with convex/concave ends is excellent for bowl work or for scraping spindles.
The shmoo shape is equally useful for a wide range of concave surfaces as well as large moldings and small spindles.
The third style has two different gentle cambers that are perfect for stripping glue lines or flat work, or for localized scraping when you want a precise, controlled action without using a lot of thumb pressure (which can reduce sensitivity).

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.
