I filed the spine of my drawknife square and continued into the curves at the end. So I can use the drawknife as normal and then just tip it up on the spine and it is a scraper. (The curved ends are a curved scraper)
The way mine works, the scraping is mainly when you push. I just chased an Osage stave with it and it was great. WAY better than a cabinet scraper. And it was easier than flipping the knife over and using the blade upside down. Worked better and I could quickly switch back and forth as needed.

Excellent! My knife comes tomorrow, and I'll square off the spine when I sharpen the blade.

Here is a pic with the sharp edge facing forward. I just beveled the bottom spine, filing towards the back of the blade to create a burr. Then I file up a bit in the back to knock the burr down and even it up. You can build up your burr a little to make it like a cabinet scraper.
Be gradual with the filing as these old draw knives are usually pretty soft in the spine.

I just got mine in the mail, and it's a dandy! The guy who owned it used it to build several vine maple bows. He has it paper-slicing sharp. I can improve it, but I'm going to leave it as is and see how it cuts.
