its an impossible task as youd need to know what this person does each day all day! he may never need a knife?....may never in 5 lifetimes need a lighter?
the "edc"ers you see on you tube have gone to the realms of lunacy!! its more now about " hey look how cool i look" when they show the 101...
i have a tbs boar a tbs wolverine and a special edition tbs wildcat canoe uk legal folder.all great knives but best one out of the box? ABSOLUTELY the tops bob!
im sorry but thats just sellers hype....yes you may well have battoned a lot...it may well be as tough as boots...but its a knife....itll suffer the same stress as ANY knife used this way....the blade will attempt to twist along its length against say a knot....it will attempt to bend 2...
its not really a problem as such? if used for what its designed for...as in you wouldnt expect to be handed a butter knife with a fork to eat a steak.
carry a scandi for your woodcraft....and a spare " multi use" in your kit
however...there is NO KNIFE designed to split wood...thats just the sellers telling you it is to SELL you it.a knife is designed to cut or slice or.....NO BLADE is designed to "baton" with....NO KNIFE.
the 3 way stress a knife suffers when "batoning" is savage.....then on top of this its struck...
A....scandi grind is designed for woodcraft..so yes...using it to remove a tooth will chip the fine edge.its a fine edge for cutting into wood and NOTHING compares to this grind for that purpose.
each grind is designed to do different tasks as any knife efficianado will tell you.
they range from £160 to £190 depending on where you get them...its 6 months old....excellently clean.....if you know maxped youll know what i mean.
whatve you got in your swap shop?
i spend quiete a time wild camping....thats my point...i know for certain theres every conceivable size of twig branch...half tree just lying around...without having to split....just shave off the wet outer.and if by answering.......oh and by the way...my knife?......depends on what i take...
bit of silliness in your reply there.....of course instruments are required to play music....typical answer to a question theres no answer to...." is an axe required in the uk"......
moras though cheap are excellent knives.....the argument if not full tang is irrelevant.great steel...scandi grind.theyre made for use in harsh conditions.....conditions we will never..NEVER experience anywhere in the uk.use a knife what its DESIGNED for and a mora will hold its own with ANY knife.
interesting read.....thanks.can you imagine trying to read these posts if they were written without spaces? it threw me slightly just reading your example
enjoyed reading your post a lot.
