>I'm going to have to vehemently disagree with the Lees on this one. It is just Wrong-Headed to intentionally put a burr with a different geometry on each edge (eight of 'em) of a card scraper. When you look at the scraper (when an edge gets dull and you are looking for another useful one), you can't tell one orientation from another. It's time to reburr it when you get just dust from four edges in a row. It's time to rehone it when you get just dust from four edges in a row after you've just consistently reburnished all four edges of it. When searching for a useable edge, the Count isn't there, with big block numbers, to optimize your search.

You should try to be as consistent as possible, when using the burnisher, to get the same burr, same depth and same angle, on all four edges (or eight edges, if your technique includes using the ends as well as the sides) of any particular scraper.

If you want scrapers with different characteristics due to different burr geometries, get multiple scrapers. It's not like they are expensive, like your go-to smoother. A representative example is the pair sold by Lie-Nielsen. I burnish the thicker one with a more agresive hook and the thinner one for more finesse.

As the edge geometry of a particular scraper wears and changes, the adaptive, intuitive method to continue to use it effectively is to adjust the angle you are holding the scraper, but not to put a unique hook with a unique angle of attack on each edge.
