Are you allowed to baton with someone else's knife? :p

You're very welcome to baton with my knife... but you'll need insurance, to sign a waiver, provide a signed declaration from your doctor that you are physically (and mentally) fit to use a sharp instrument, two references from people who've known you for at least 5 years whom aren't members of your family, friends, and must have been full UK citizens for 5 years, photocard ID (driving license or passport) and - most importantly - a recent utility bill in your name only (I cannot stress the importance of the utility bill enough).

I think in the original proposition it was "too observe" so if we could tell by sight, audio, taste, smell or touch (or indeed psychically) sense it we're spoiling the game. Though no-one takes into consideration whether the cat's senses on it's state are to be taken into account. No-one takes any notice about little kitty's views on the subject!:rolleyes:

I think the point of the hypothetical experiment is that the cat both gives a damn and doesn't give a crap at the same time, dependent on whether its views on the subject are being observed...

(Last time I'm going to talk about it because I don't want to get done for being "off topic")

On a related point - don't use your axe for splitting wood - it will damage the cutting edge...................................

Having seen first hand what happens to a knife when used to batton in this case an esee6, I will continue to use the correct tool for the job.

I dont think anyone would have a problem if they would just accept that the Bear Grylls Pro Knife really does do it all. The A-team of tools :) I bet you could batton through a tree with that bad boy, should the survival situation call for it of course. :) Happy nearly New Year everyone. Lets start it as we mean to go on, with a smile on our face :)

The goverment has spent a lot of time & money over the years teaching me to use a baton efectively, heads if they get in the way of a strike, no problem, never got the hang of splitting logs with it though.

I won't purely and simply because I don't want to carry an axe. Like to be light and never feel the need to use anything other than a knife foe everything I do including firewood.
