ive had my cheap "tool shop" version of a sureform for 3 yrs,have used it on about 15 differant stave bows and about as many board bows
only problem i have is the round belly blades tend to slide to one side a little bit
but never had a problem with the handle coming off

4-n -1, ferriers rasp(the guy we use doesn't allow them to dull and gives me all of his used ones) scrapers vary from metal to edge of hornstone nodule(sharp!).
Use what you got and are comfortable with and having fun ;)

i have a cheap Tool Shop rasp...I used it for about five minutes to find out it barely cuts pine.  Finally went and bought a surform and WOW it shaved off wood like no tomorrow...I mean my tool shop literally would not cut wood for the life of it...I tried every angle and a lot of pressure...the surform takes off more wood with just the weight of the tool...I love it.

My farrier's rasp is a constant companion. I like 4 in 1 rasps, too, particularly for handles and fades.
