Wish I had a Stanley 12 :-)

What works for me on a Stanley 80:

They're quite different tools. The #80 is a holder for a fairly normal
cabinet scraper, with a square edge. The #12 may have a 45° edge to
the scraper (although not always). These 45° scrapers are softer,
have a larger hook, and IMHE are very easy to sharpen in comparison.
I'm fussy about carefully sharpening and burnishing cabinet scrapers,
but quite slapdash in doing those for my #12 or #112. I very rarely
stone the bevel - just a 1000 grit stone to take any nicks out of the
edge.

As a general tool, I prefer the #112 to the #12. The handles make it
more controllable to hold it against chattering. The #12 and its
"broomhandle" handle is OK over a short pass where you can keep your
weight directly over it, but if you have to reach far away from your
body for a long pass then you can't hold it down so well and it tends
to chatter.

I recommend buying a good burnisher. They're cheap enough and having a
real handle will save your fingers and knuckles.
