I just remember some of what Jim said, but I use a single-cut file (diagonal cut-strips without crosshatching) and take it across the scraper-edge uniformly. It's pretty effective for short-term use. So if I'm using the scraper a lot, I will have to pause occasionally to refresh the edge.

Enjoy! BTW, www.wkfinetools.com is a great place to browse.
