Hi everyone.
Apologies if this has been answered before, I've used the search function but could not find the answers on C.Claycomb's sticky.
My question is that one of a novice...
I need help in choosing blade shape for a camp knife.
I love the shape of the new woodlore Pro but I'm not sure why , I just like the slimmer pointier design , but can't find anywhere explaining the pros and cons of such geometry.

I've read the sticky on grinds and geometry but it doesn't answer my question...
Of course common sense prevails and I understand that they all have their place and advantage in their own right, just can't seem to find an article that will explain this in detail without getting lost in grinds and other complexities...
The reason for me trying to find this out is quite simple... I've been lusting at these blanks...

Specifically the B&T woodsman as it just looks so damn slick ...
I'm guessing that the B&T bit comes from the Bird&Trout shape ?
Is that so and is that a useful shape for camp chores? The woodlore Pro is almost similar , except for the slight drop point...
Why is it shaped like this?
And would I be better off with the typical bushcrafter blank offered on the same page?(spear point ?)
I mean I prefer the B&T shape , but this is a purely aesthetic choice , and I don't really want to make the wrong choice , purely for aesthetics....
I also quite like their traditional bushy shape ....So I need help choosing!
Also does anyone have one of these knives and experience with Bernie Garland blades? ...and are they any good or are there better options for a ready shaped and ground 01 tool blank?
I wonder if the community here would help me understand these questions and answers , and hopefully I can then make an informed decision , before pulling the trigger on this blank.
Help me make the right choice?
Thank you all very much in advance...
