Here are a few scrapers I use. Machete (broken) and resharpened like a razor.Sheffield steel rectacular scraper. Pieces of 3/16" steel in different shapes.Carvers draw knife-razor sharp-good scraper-though dulls quickly. Dick Baugh's Bowscraper-2nd one-Ist one lasted 10 yrs or so-1095 steel/40 deg bevel-really good. And last "Gorgon"- 14"x6" piece of 3/16' steel-sharpen only one side-talk about to the bone-what I really like about it is you can work for a long time without resharpening and rolling-if you move down the edge. Coulndt find piece of obsidian that I use for real fine work-gawd I hope my barefoot dosent find it.-bob

Roger, your method is the accepted tried and true method, some of us develop some tecniques or shortcuts on our own but yours is basicaly the correct procedure. I keep a little slot pocket on my shaving horse I can drop my scraper into and it will hold it for me to file. I sharpen several times over a few hour period. A good edge that is rolled as you describe can last for weeks. I should have mentioned that. Steve
