Has anyone ever??????

I have seen it in videos. I have never done it myself.

Yes … it was the first scraper I ever used (I have a set of Lie-Nielsen scrapers that get used now).

I just removed the handle, tuned up the edges with a mill file, and burnished with a screw driver.

The LN card scrapers are smaller (easier to get into tight spots) and a bit more flexible, but it worked great, and I still have it!

I haven’t heard of that, but I have seen people use old hand saw blades.

disposable planer knives?

yah you can. I’ve made hand saws from drywall knives.
I suspect you have to re burr it a lot though.
The hardness is a nice spring tempter about 46 on the RC scale

I have never heard of it before but from what I just read above I think I will try it. Glad you asked the question Kristoffer….

Thanks for asking

Why not? I make micro scrapers form old razor blades so I think that you should be able to make one out of just about anything.

Chunky, you make micro scrapers from old razor blades? Please expound on that, sounds interesting! Never heard of that.

Something like this? Would be useful if you had a hurt hand or arthritis.
