I dreamed of a making a SAK whittling knife to make bowls and spoons with, but I havnt figured out how to get a crook knife on there yet.

That's excellent. It's so very satisfying to make things by hand. I can relate to missing that kind of lifestyle as I used to live in the middle of knowwhere, and now Im in the city.

...The plan was to combine it into one knife, but I ended up getting some proper spoon knives and never finished the project...
I still want to build a whittler's SAK with a crook blade on it for spoon and bowl carving, but I cant locate a stainless steel one. The mora ones are all non stainless.What's wrong with carbon steel?
You could try a Hoof Knife...they come in stainless. It would require re-profiling to make it sharp enough to carve...and I'm not sure if they are all heat treated as well as a real knife blade. I have a modified Mora hoof knife that works really well.

Poplar spoon carved entirely with my new SAK
Makes sence. I know my Opinel carves nicely. Very thin blade and I put a steep edge on it. I would say a full grind on a SAK blade would do wonders.
