For part 3 of this comparison mini-series, I decided to throw the Woodlore style knife against the Puukko style knife. In parts 1 and 2, I focused heavily on fire craft, creating fire with bow drills, so in this episode, I decided to focus on their woodworking capabilities and carve up a quick spoon. The Woodlore design is the Ray Mears knife, a hugely popular British survival and bushcraft expert. The Puukko design is a traditional Scandinavian knife that was their "do all" tool.

As nice as fire prep is to test a knife, nothing gives you an idea of its balance and performance like carving with it. It's amazing how quickly your hand learns where the blade's edge is and how the knife handle locks in when carving something like a spoon. Not all knives are well suited for carving, but because both the woodlore and puukko have Scandinavian grinds and thin blades with full comfortable handles, I was very confident they would both be up to the task. So after my bushcraft coffee, I found myself a nice fallen branch and processed it down into a spoon using the "burn-in bowl" method.
