This set consists of a pair of 2 1/2 inch by 5 inch cabinet scrapers made by Crown Hand Tools of Sheffield England. The Rectangular scrapers (2 1/2" x 5") are the standard item for flat surfaces. Scrapers are .032 inches thick and are made of medium carbon steel with a hardness of 40/42 Rockwell C. This specification gives good edge retention while allowing the "spring" of "flex" in the blade which gives the user control of the tool. Cabinet scrapers are an invaluable aid to woodworking in putting a really fine finish on wood. They can also be used for removing traces of paint, varnish or distress marks on wood.
