How to sharpen this scraper?

What's the best way to sharpen a scraper like this one?

just like a flat chisel.
follow the bevel. nice tool.

There's no bevel. Right now it is flat. I don't remember it having a bevel nor what side it goes on, angle, etc. It's been years since I used it.

a bevel following the red line angle.

Just set it‘s edge flat on a stone, and push it away from you a few times. This will raise a small burr on the inside, and should make it scrape well on the pull stroke.
Scrapers are not designed to hog off wood, but it will clean up and smoothly scrape the surface quite well.

Exactly, push away from you to sharpen !

I played around with it some and I think I got it. As said above, I got better results putting the bevel on the front side (opposite handle) and drawing it to me when sharpening, opposite a knife blade.

I held it upside down with the front edge pointing away from me and drew it back towards me across diamond laps at about 20-25 degrees angle between the lap and the metal. So basically it was like sharpening a knife backwards.

Wood scrapers work by having a burr to drag across the wood, not a cutting edge. On card scrapers I put them in a vise and pull a carbide shaft across the edge at an angle. It rolls a nice burr on it. I think you could do something similar with that tiny one too.
