I have a couple old double bits myself. The one I primarily use has slightly different assignments for the bits. I use one bit for grubbing with a nice fat convex edge and the other bit is for all the other work that isn't down in the dirt and like your, shaving sharp. Mine happens to be a nice old Plumb.for my axes, I use an old Nickolson 12" bastard cut file ( 1968 era - made in USA)
keep it on the tractor so if I need to touch up an ax blade down in the woods
still carry an old double bladed ax
has dual edges on it - one for splitting wood and one for shaving
when we bought the property, I found an old Collins 5 lbs head ax leaning against a tree in my woods
made in USA back before the time of chain saws
