Just used these for the first time since I bought them and they are amazingly fine. I hand build guitars and rely on planes and scrapers for much of my work. These scrapers are truly excellent. The thickness is perfect for thinning and flattening surfaces - like the front and back of the headstock. Their size makes them easy to handle. They fit nicely in my hands. They cut well, producing nice clean shavings. I’ll buy these again. I recommend these to anyone who uses scrapers. Thanks DFM!

Ordered two sets (pairs) on Black Friday sale. Received only one set. Called Amazon, and they can’t figure out that two pairs equals a quantity of four. I explained that if I have a pair of socks, and then grabbed another pair of socks, how many socks would I have?? Anyway, since they have a photo of the delivery (box on the porch), they will not send me the second pair. Of course, the delivery driver must have an X-ray camera feature on their cell phones. Anyway, scrapper good, employees not.

These card scrapers are very easy to you and clears the finish very well. I highly recommend this product.

This is the cardscraper’s cardscraper. It’s more beefy than anything you buy elsewhere, and it holds an edge very well. If you scrape hard wood a lot, this scraper will be a blessing. Update: I’ve been using this for a few months now and still enjoy using it. It takes a burr easily, and lasts a long time till you have to resharpen it. What I like the most is that since it’s so thick, you don’t get a huge bend while using it. This means it’s difficult to see any marks in the wood from using it...it covers a larger surface area. Still an excellent buy for the hand tool woodworker.

I bought these, as they seemed like a good value for a two pack of card scrapers. The blue color was also kinda neat, compared to the standard steel everyone make them out of. I figured, other than color, these are just plain card scrapers. I couldn't have been more wrong. I don't normally write reviews, but this card scraper has made my prep work so much better. I've been using these to remove old finishes before I do sanding and a new finish. These card scrapers came already squared on their edges and needed very minimal work to get them sharpened. It only took a handful of swipes on my diamond stones to get a fresh, square edge. I then pulled and turned the corners using my burnisher. I ended up with a very sharp and clean edge with very minimal work. Touching them up with my burnisher between honings is a breeze. So, yeah. Didn't expect to be impressed by a flat piece of steel. I'll be buying more of their stuff, for sure, in the future.

Super good steel, exactly what I needed, and works better than I had hoped. It took an edge and made tons of shavings. It hit the Goldy Locks zone between softness without imperfections to create a single continuous bur and hardness for the bur to last. This will save me hundreds a year on sandpaper and provide a better surface for gluing and finishing. Reminds me of the blue steel pocket knife my dad gave me in 1964 (I was six) He said: "When you see the blue blade, you will know you can get it much sharper than the shiny ones, but you will have to sharpen it more often."

I like the DFM desire to bring tool-making back to the USA. But these scrapers are not not produced properly. They seem to be stamped or punched out of steel sheets. It's a quality job, but there is noticeable deformation in the steel... you see this when you condition the flat edges. Taking these to a stone to smooth the flat edge quickly reveals the undulations (I used a rotary Makita Japanese stone as well as 3M diamond sheets mounted on a honed piece of granite designed to stabilize scientific measuring devices). I eventually got the edges smooth, but was puzzled as to why these were punched out the way they were – with the sanding grain aligned perpendicular to the cutting edge. Meaning along the short dimension. The reason this is important is that when you prepare a scraper you want a smooth, uniform burr on the edge. The burr is not visible with the unaided eye... you go by feel. A sanding grain that is clearly visible will result in an edge that's more of a rake than a shovel... you will be turning an edge that variegated – uneven. If they stamp them the other way they get 4 stars. But the sanded surface is still a pain. And they are very stiff for a .032" scraper. I bought these and I also bought a set of two Lie-Nielsen scrapers at roughly the same price. It took some time to condition the edge properly on my motorized waterstone for these DFM scrapers. A couple of hours... (there are 2 edges X 2 sides X 2 scrapers). When I went to the Lie-Nielson scrapers my first pass showed that I didn't need to even bother – they were incredibly uniform at the edge. They seemed milled, not sanded, but whatever the process it was superior. I'll give both a workout and report back. In the meantime I would buy Lie-Nielson scrapers. They come in two perfect flexible thicknesses as well. (disclaimer: I am not connected to Lie-Nielson in any way, other than the fact that they make hand tools that are worth the expense and I own a dozen or so. Not perfect – I've had to flatten bottoms and square sides a bit on their planes – but they are the best you can get, and a great tribute to American craft). UPDATE: Sorry it's been awhile... forgot I promised to write an update after using both the DFM and Lie Nielsen scrapers. I've done a fair amount with both now, and can pass along a performance evaluation. First, let me say that after you get good at conditioning a scraper, you can literally grab almost any piece of steel, put a burr on it and scrape with it. I say this from experience – I've had to do this in a pinch many, many times. So in that regard, these DFM scrapers are fine – they are quite stiff, which can wear out your hands if you try to flex them while you scrape (flexing outward even a little bit as you push, or inward as you pull adds to the effectiveness of a scraper). The DFM steel seems quite hard, meaning it takes some effort to get a burr on the edges. The benefit is the burr lasts quite awhile before it needs refreshing. All in all, I like the DFM scrapers but feel they're best for coarse heavier work. Lie Nielsen provides two thicknesses in their set: .032" and .020". The thinner scraper is a joy to use – you can really feel the control of the edge as you flex it quite easily and naturally. The steel doesn't seem as hard as the DFM... not that it's soft, but rather that the DFM is really that hard! I think I'd grab the Lie Nielsen scrapers for more refined tasks, such as final scraping before finishing. I personally like to scrape carefully and then finish with just some Scotchbrite fine or ultra fine abrasive pads before applying the finish. As you probably know, a scraper slices the wood grain instead of tearing it, which gives the wood surface MUCH greater depth when finished if sanding is kept to a minimum (I hate sanding period). After you get comfortable with scraping, you can even use scrapers to remove the "hair" that raises after your first coat of finish... followed by a bit more light Scotchbrite work. Here's some notes on preparing a scraper for those that are just getting into scraping (since there are a number of reviews voicing frustration that the scrapers aren't prepared). The most important thing is to keep at it – it requires practice, like any skill, and the rewards are well worth the effort! It took me awhile, but I finally got good at it when I realized I was trying too hard... I was creating too much of a burr. There's a lot of mystique around sharpening scrapers, and a lot of it centers on creating the burr, but in reality it's a pretty straightforward process. The key for me is to keep it fast and simple. I use a mill bastard file in a holder that keeps the file at 90° to the scraper... something like the Woodsmith version but simpler (and cheaper). You could make your own out of hardwood, but I wouldn't file the edge freehand because it's very important to have it square to the side faces. Just a few strokes with the file, then a quick hone of the edge and two faces... I use whatever fine stone I have handy – a ceramic stone works well. If I don't have a stone handy then I just skip the honing and go right to burnishing. I use the shaft of a 1/2" drill for a burnisher... nothing fancy (any burnisher should be a diameter of 1/2" or more... don't use something smaller). Burnishing the *sides* is important imo and often neglected: I burnish both sides of the scraper first – I lay it on the bench or table and run the drill bit shaft flat on the side faces near the edge while applying as much pressure as I can. This smoothes any remaining sanding or file marks and hardens the edge a bit. I think it really makes a difference. Then the scraper goes into a wood vice with only 3/4" or so showing. I find some skin oil (behind the ear usually works) and rub it on the edge. Then I run the drill shaft along the edge at 90° in both directions while applying moderate pressure, until I feel a very small burr. THIS is where the burr really comes from – too many instructions emphasize holding the burnisher at an angle. If you do the angle thing too quickly you'll form a weak edge that's too extreme. Keep the drill shaft/burnisher at 90° for at least 3 weighted strokes in each direction, again until you can feel a slight burr when you drag your finger off the side face. ONLY THEN tilt the burnisher 15% or so and take a moderate stroke in each direction for each side of the edge (i.e., stroke forward and back tilting the burnisher left, then forward and back tilting right). This is just a finishing touch – the real work came from burnishing flat on the side faces and 90° on the edge. Practice this a bit and you should be able to get 4 good edges on the scraper in less than 10 minutes (I usually do the short sides too). It's really a breeze, and something I don't think twice about any more (I used to dread it). Again, keep it simple and don't go crazy with tilting the burnisher. Best of luck and enjoy!
