Just got a few scrapers and a burnisher from stewmac but after reading the manual I've learned that I also need a sharpening stone. What do you guys recommend?

I just use a fine file, and put a slight bevel on the edge,
filing into the high point.
Good enough for me.

I also just use a file. I lay the scraper on my worktable and run the file along the side . You can feel when the file begins to remove material.
