I found this comment about the Sandvik scraper very interesting. I have scrapers
from LN (thin, 20 thou, I like a lot), old Disston and Stanley of various
thicknesses (one is marked w/ a Keystone and D7, wonder where that came from?),
and a variety of unmarked scrapers. But, my favorite is a Sandvic at 27 thou. I
inherited it from an in-law who was a finish carpenter. He put his kit away in
1954 (dated from the newspapers various tools were wrapped in). It has always
been my go to scraper. Just seems to take and hold an edge better than any other
and have the right amount of flex for most jobs.
