Has anyone had any experience with the Jig Sharp scraper (http://www.jigsharp.com/)? Looks a lot like the old fashioned paint scrapers, but they show it being used on wood like a cabinet scraper. Just wondering.

I sometimes use a carbide bladed paint scraper that looks like this. Frequently for removing glue buildup. Occasionally as a surface scraper ( the top of my workbench as an example). It's doesn't cut quite the same as a well sharpened card scraper.

A bent steel blade in a plastic handle?
No thanks.
The Bahco scrapers (http://www.amazon.com/Bahco-625XXX-Premium-Ergonomic-Carbide/dp/B000288LOW/ref=pd_sim_sbs_petsupplies_1/192-8020813-6068319) have carbide blades and are excellent, dealing with gnarly grain.

I like those metal paint scrapers you can get at the borgs. One straight end, one bent. A few passes on the grinder on each end and you've got a great little scraper. Admittedly, I use these for scraping glue.
