The scraper is considered to be an important instrument among the Sema Naga tribe. This is a handmade instrument vital for several applications in woodworking as well as agriculture. Currently, this rather traditional tool is under preservation in the Indian Museum at Kolkata. Sharp metal blades positioned at both ends and from the interior of the central shaft were held in position by the aid of two bamboo grips for demonstration of the skill of indigenous craftsmanship among the tribes.

The blade is semi-circular and offers a sharp edge for scraping and smoothing surfaces. Two tangs from the blade extend back, tying each to a bamboo handle; thus giving a strong grip and control over use. The handles are decorated with cane strips, which is an identifiable feature of Naga workmanship. Also, a cane strip joins the arms crosswise, giving added strength to the whole tool.
The Sema Naga tribe primarily uses this scraper to shape wood, process bamboo, and prepare surfaces for construction and handicrafts. Very lightweight and sturdy in operation, an implement such as that one is competent enough to be used for day-to-day work.
With modern tools becoming more available, the scraper has been recognized for its cultural and practical significance in Naga society. It symbolizes the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the tribe, preserving traditional skills against the encroachments of technology.
