The kind of sharpening that is being refereed to is more for a cabinet scraper which is a thicker hardened piece of steel with a flat corner edge that is sharp. You burnish the edge with a round steel (a screwdriver shaft will do_) and push the corner away forming a bit of a lip that is sharper than it was before. However... for what you want, you can use any of those cheap scrapers with the 4-way replaceable blades. To sharpen it, just file it towards the cutting edge and it will work fine.
Cheap scraper like this will work fine.

I have a Sandivk tungston replaceable blade one and it stays sharp about 800 times longer than regular steel.

I do like my cabinet scraper blades the best. I have some oldies that are thick and very high quality steel.
