Better for woodworking?

[iamtoast]

I have an all stainless Kiwi and a not even opened Swick. I need to sell one but want to keep one for woodworking, making wooden toys for my son. Which of these two would be a better bet for this task? I am leaning toward the Swick, it seems like it would have more control overall and I am a fan of full flat grinds.

Hmm... the Kiwi actually, IMO, has the stronger point while the SWICK is a better cutter overall - depends on your needs, though, as a very amateur woodworker (in small stuff), I've found a small stout wharncliffe fixed blade works best as an all-rounder.

Why not just get a Finnish/Swedish blade like some Moras, etc?

I'd say the Paramilitary would be my choice for woodworking. That needle sharp tip is great for the random whittling I do.

Of those two, I'd keep the Kiwi. It's got a bit more length, and a bit more of a point then the swick. I'd also think the swick would have a bit of an awkward grip using the hole. I'd look for something you could choke up on and control.
