A famous old machine, on display in my favorite desert town, the “Southern Entrance to Death Valley”, Shoshone California.
It seems I’ve always recognized the Fresno scraper. Did I see some of them 85 years ago when I was little? In my mind’s eye I can see a Fresno scraper being pulled by two horses and raising clouds of dust as it graded a dirt road.
This is the piece of equipment that created and maintained thousands of miles of old time roads. Modern bulldozer blades still echo the shape of the Fresno Scraper.

To pry prints off the aluminum plate w/ Kapton tape, I bought an Allway Bent scraper for $4 at Home Depot:

I chose it because it was cheap, hefty and made with excellent steel I knew I could sharpen at home. It even came pre-beveled, less work for me!
A little time on my sharpening stone, and I got it sharp enough to cut paper. Slides right under the first layer, and with the bend there's plenty of leverage. It's a much better wedge than a chisel (shallower angle) and also much cheaper.
