Have this scorp, holding it for someone.  Picked it up at a flea not quite finished.  Turned the handles, just need to finish the fitting.

I have one too and it is also beveled on the inside too.    I find a lot of them that are beveled on the outside and that is what I prefer for scooping.
What is the use and purpose for the bevel being on the inside ?    I really prefer riding the bevel because I can control the depth of cut very easily that way.

That is really sweet!
 From the shape of the tangs? and the bevel like that?  I suspect this one was made for rounding off work rather than scooping wood. 
 I could see it taking the corners off work in a hurry!!
 
 Nice

Very nice, can't wait to see a picture of it all done.
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
