A bolt is received in aligned countersunk openings drilled through the handle member and the retaining plate and a nut threaded onto the shank of the bolt draws the retaining plate towards the handle member to clamp the glass square in place. The glass square can be repositioned within the recess to present eight different scraping edges. A worn or broken glass plate can be readily replaced to renew the scraper.
