I bought them when they were introduced and have used them a few times. They're good quality and the various shapes cover what you'll need. When you need a scraper, you need a scraper. I'm not a Flexcut fan, but these are worth having. Mike

I use Flexcut scrapers to smooth the inner surface of spoons, cups, bowls, etc. if they are to be used. (Otherwise I'll leave the surface as carved.) The varied shapes are quite useful and they work well with a little tuning up. Surely beats hunting for a piece of broken glass the right shape!

I have a set of them and like them very much. They are not something I use all the time, but good tools to have anyway when the need arises.
I use them in the inside of my spoon bowls and also on the handles. Cuts down on a lot of dust because they make small shavings.

Sharon of the Dell That was very grand information about the dust, I stay away as much as possible
