    Hey, that makes a lot of sense. Double-ended tools-- I use them a
    lot as a dental hygienist. 

    Until I can get a triangle scraper I am using a dental sharpener
    called a Nievert Whittler. Very versatile for scraping, sharpening,
    and graving. Made by Interstate Dental in New Hyde Park NY.
