 Oh Suzanna, yes, and they're on sale through many double-reed suppliers.  The grenadilla ones aren't much more pricey than a metal plaque, and I think many are convex, which means the tip is held open while you scrape it.   
 
I'm just getting used to using one, and I won't use it all the time, but if I want to really trim down the sides of a tip, the convex, wooden plaque is the Bomb.
