How do I maintain the scraper?
Clean the blade after use, dry it thoroughly, and store it in a dry place. Sharpen as needed.
Is this scraper suitable for delicate surfaces?
The rigid blade is best suited for tougher tasks. For delicate surfaces, use with extreme caution or opt for a more flexible scraper.

What does 'scale tang' mean?
A scale tang is a type of construction where the blade's metal extends partway into the handle, typically secured by rivets, providing a strong connection.
Troubleshooting
Blade feels dull or ineffective
Sharpen the high carbon steel blade using a whetstone or metal file. Ensure consistent sharpening angle for best results.
Scraper is leaving marks on the surface
Reduce the pressure applied. For delicate surfaces, consider using a more flexible scraper or a different tool. Ensure the blade edges are not nicked.
Handle feels loose or wobbly
Inspect the connection between the blade and the handle. If it's a scale tang design, ensure it is not damaged. For safety, discontinue use if the handle is compromised.
