A broken piece of heavy glass makes a great scraper when smoothing and shaping a handle. Most modern bottles are pretty thin, think about an old milk bottle or coke. Sharpening is easy, just break it again.

By the way, of the 3 HF hammers I bought a few weeks ago, all 3 heads have now come off their handles. So like many items made in Cheapistan, they are best regarded as a "kit".

I guess it would but here's an alternative: After reading an article on the wonders of cabinet scrapers, I cut out about a 3 or 4" square from an old circular saw blade (not carbide tipped) with my plasma cutter. I ground and filed the edges nice and clean and square. I then formed the classical burr with a piece of hardened and tempered to straw drill rod. Works great, cost nothing and seems to need re-dressing less often than the article suggested.
