This tool is fundamentally a skew with a round edge, hence the rather acute angle.

The two angles, β1 & β2, can be different, though that is more of a user decision regarding its use. If you choose to go this route, consider making the outer cutting edge (β2) around 30°.

All four surfaces (2 on the red edge; 2 on the blue edge) should be honed to give a smooth, sharp cutting edge.
