Hi,
After reading on this list, I got me a couple of Bahco scrapers. Wow-really hard.
I jointed the edge, smoothed the face on a stone, then drew the edge with a burnisher-fancy one from somewhere....then, tried to put a hook of 5-10 degrees on the edge. I got no real burr.-well not impressive, anway.
Initially, I thought-Hey--if it just takes a little more work to get a burr on the much harder SandVik/Bahco than LN scraper, and I don't have to sharpen as much, why not?
But-so far, I am not able to do very well. Maybe I am just really loosing strength in my hands.....The Bahco does do exceptionally well as something to dress my benchtop.
In the past, I have not even bothered to draw the edge and did pretty well I guess w my LN.
Do you all draw the edge/burr first?
Are Bahco scrapers worth it?
