86598 "Michael C. Recchione" recchione Nov-22-2000 sharpening scorp?

Esteemed Galoots,

I received a Swiss Made scorp for my Birthday a few days ago - one of
the one handed ones - and am trying to figure out how to sharpen it.  It
doesn't seem to have a bevel at all that I could use as a reference for
honing.  Does anyone know how these are supposed to be sharpened?  Bevel
on the outside?  Inside?  Both?  Also - is this supposed to cut like a
gouge, a knife or a scraper?  I apologize if this is off-topic, but a
scorp is a very old tool, even if it is new.  (IMHO).  Thanks in advance
for any replies.

- Mike
