Q: What does a burnisher do?
It forms the hook on the edge of a scraper, which is the key to effective hand scraping.
05K3205 - Veritas Round Burnisher

The secret to effective hand scraping is a good hook on the edge of the scraper. Our burnisher has an extra-hard, smooth finish that not only forms a uniform hook on all shapes of scrapers, but also minimizes friction during burnishing.
Hardened to Rc58-60, this burnisher is substantially harder than the scrapers on which it is used. The 5/16" diameter A2 tool steel rod is 4 3/4" long, providing ample length to hold burnishing angles. With the beech handle, it is about 9 5/8" long overall.
