Tuller: I've been using card scrapers for many years and these are most stiff I've ever tried to use. Difficult to burnish an edge on. Difficult to bend so I have to put them in a scraper holder to force them to bend a little.
They may work for you but not what I want in a scraper.

Pete L: The "how to" video was a great addition. Haven't used a scraper before this really helped. The scrapper itself is great. Probably should have gotten two. Very satisfied

Jared Koumentis: I bought these, as they seemed like a good value for a two pack of card scrapers. The blue color was also kinda neat, compared to the standard steel everyone make them out of. I figured, other than color, these are just plain card scrapers.
I couldn't have been more wrong.
I don't normally write reviews, but this card scraper has made my prep work so much better. I've been using these to remove old finishes before I do sanding and a new finish. These card scrapers came already squared on their edges and needed very minimal work to get them sharpened. It only took a handful of swipes on my diamond stones to get a fresh, square edge. I then pulled and turned the corners using my burnisher. I ended up with a very sharp and clean edge with very minimal work. Touching them up with my burnisher between honings is a breeze.
So, yeah. Didn't expect to be impressed by a flat piece of steel. I'll be buying more of their stuff, for sure, in the future.

Bigh: I like the DFM desire to bring tool-making back to the USA. But these scrapers are not not produced properly.
They seem to be stamped or punched out of steel sheets. It's a quality job, but there is noticeable deformation in the steel... you see this when you condition the flat edges. Taking these to a stone to smooth the flat edge quickly reveals the undulations (I used a rotary Makita Japanese stone as well as 3M diamond sheets mounted on a honed piece of granite designed to stabilize scientific measuring devices).
I eventually got the edges smooth, but was puzzled as to why these were punched out the way they were – with the sanding grain aligned perpendicular to the cutting edge. Meaning along the short dimension.
The reason this is important is that when you prepare a scraper you want a smooth, uniform burr on the edge. The burr is not visible with the unaided eye... you go by feel. A sanding grain that is clearly visible will result in an edge that's more of a rake than a shovel... you will be turning an edge that variegated – uneven. If they stamp them the other way they get 4 stars. But the sanded surface is still a pain. And they are...
