As mentioned before a plane will be more user friendly and prevent damage if you get too aggressive. You could always shop around for a used one but they always need lots of work to get them into useful condition and if you don’t have the proper sharpening equipment forget it. For $40 you can get a 5" Flexcut Carvers Draw Knife which is perfect for shaping shoulders and looms. It's one of my favourite tools for shaping Greenland paddles because of the size and its sharp out of the box.
