i don't have anything to compare against but i got a pair of bahco scrapers from woodcraft and love them. properly sharpened and burnished they can really rip a ribbon of ipe off a bow. again, i have no scrapers to compare to. they're my first ones and i like them much better than scissors :P ace hardware also sells a 5 pack of different shapes for a good price and i'd bet they would sharpen up just like mine do.

This is what you want! These are way better than cheap scrapers ;)
When properly sharpened with a fresh burr....wood comes off so well I won't use anything else! I started off with some cheapo scrapers and used them for ages...not even comparible to these. I think quality tools are worth their weight in gold - buy cheap buy twice ;)

I have also used the side of a Hock hand plane blade.

My 'on the road' scraper is simply the back side of my draw knife filed flat and burnished.  Two tools in one that way.  But don't burnish it towards the flat side it boogers up the wood when chasin a ring.
