Scorps for spoons

[BrianHW]

I've been watching several tutorials on YouTube on spoon carving. I thought I might give it a try but since I've discovered I'm a tool junky I had to research scorps first. The simplest seems to be the Flexcut 5/16th knife but it looks like they are popular. Just looking for suggestions before I buy another gadget.

I've got a bent knife from Deep woods ventures that I like rather well. It holds a good edge.

I use the Denny Sidewinder and his spoon gouge, I think it is #8 by 5/8". The spoon gouge works really well. I will post a link for you.

If you are handy you might be able to modify a farriers hoof knife.

I make a lot of spoon bowls, and usually take away a lot of waste with gouges, but getting to the real shaping, my favorite tool has been a bent knife. It is something like a farrier's knife, I think. Mine has an increasingly aggressive curve towards the end, and is double-edged.
I have tried lots of things, too. I got my favorite bent knife from Preferred Edge.

Dell Stubbs spoon knives are as good as they get imo. You will love them, especially for hard woods. Pinewood Forge is the place to get 'em.

Dell Stubbs gets my vote, too.
