I have just received a used Stanley # 112 scraper plane , does anyone know what the angle is on the end of the scraper ? I’m sure it can vary a few degrees but thought I’d ask . I pretty much have it all cleaned up & ready to use . Thanks in advance . Gary

I believe it is 45 degrees just like the cabinet scraper.
Gregory is correct in nominating 45 degrees. That is the angle the blades come (came) at. However ..
I grind mine at 30 degrees. This makes it easier to create a hook. I have not noticed any difference in strength or edge holding.
