thankyou for the buildalong

If the curved part is closer to the handle wouldn't it be easier to apply pressure and carve?

That is where the intended purpose comes into play. Having a good portion of straight blade makes it useful for other tasks. That is how they were originally intended. Now shortening the blade and curving it sooner would be very useful for bowl and spoon carving but not very useful for other chores. In the end the tool is made for the purpose it is intended to be used.  I try to walk a line of general purpose instead of single purpose.
