Spoon Carving Knife Choices?

Hey all!

I'm really excited at the thought of making a spoon as a PEP BB, (and potentially all my future cooking utensils??) but not too sure when I come up to needing a spoon knife.

Here's the facts:
- I'm accident prone, so this will be a great hobby idea
- I used to carve bows and arrows etc as a kid, but haven't tried anything like that for ~15 years.
- My husband and I are about to start our house extension, so money is a bit tied up at the moment
- I'm in Australia, so something I could get here would be best!

With all that taken into consideration, would having a spoon knife make my life a lot easier/get me a much better finished product at the end? If that's the case, what should I be looking out for when buying one?

Any other tips and tricks to make sure I have all my fingers by the end of the process would be very helpful as well, thanks!!

(PS, if someone could grant me the skills to make spoons like this guy, that'd be great! Giles Newman)

I made a spoon at the PEP event last summer precisely because I didn't know what tools I'd need.  As it turns out, the only specialized thing I think you need is a spoon or hook knife.  They're curved to do the bowl of the spoon.  All the other surfaces are doable with normal knives so I'd focus on getting that one knife.  Somewhere...
