Dont batton with your knife

[ozzy1977]

That is a chunky monkey, lacking in finesse though for finer work.

I don't know about that with years of practice I could do everything including most carving needed with my MOD.

Wow thats looks good.

Do you have the crocodile jacket to go with it

Working on one now lol

Just my thoughts..quite heavy to handle as well for any length of time.

Nope carves a spoon blank and the finer stuff no probs

Nope suites me down to the ground and very easy to use for all camp duties be it shelter making down to spoon carving I love it .certainly lighter than an axe that I've owned hated and got rid of .
Not dangling all over the place hitting your knee etc or in and out of your pack like a tramp in bins .

Never had that problem when I pack an axe, but as they say different people different ideas

 

[k9trev]

Anyway I thought the discussion was not to use your knife for battoning .
I don't I use my wildland built just for that purpose and many others as it's a very cleverly designed tool .

I just reprofiled the edge on my ESEE RC6 to better-handle the finer work (such as spoon carving). Reground the edge to 30 degrees (15 each side) from 50 degrees (25 each side). Still batons nicely, but now has more control for the delicate work.

Didnt you bend the blade battoning it though?

 

[Man of Tanith]

Considering this was all started by a comedy youtube vid of hitler diatribing about battoning its definitely lasted a long while and had its ups and downs....

baton. Dont baton each t their own

I batonned my new M.O.R.A today....only to practice for a course where there's not the option of takin an axe.
I think it made a nom nom nom noise as it went throughthe seasoned Hazel wood

One time, yes... but you keep forgetting that it did straighten itself once withdrawn from the log... which demonstrates that it is a quality piece of steel

Since you're online, you must have at least a phone bill you can use

Unless he's using the public library

 

[SJStuart]

Unless he's using the public library

You need proof of address to get a library card

 

[ozzy1977]

You dont need library card to use the computers at the libraries though
