Tbs boar dc4

I am just starting out and as the age old question is which knife is best which I have read a lot of reviews and views on knives. I have found a knife I like and want to know anyone's opinion whether they have used the knife and is it any good at tasks like batoning cheers jono

My suggestion would be if you want a knife for battoning get an axe. Otherwise I have the TBS Grizzly and a boar folder and they are both very good knive .

Brilliant thank you I have an axe but was if I was to travel Light I didn't want to start bashing a 150 quid knife

Age old argument on here. Carry the tool needed for the job. Yes you can boton with a knife and I personally do but you run the risk of causing it damage. If your looking for a knife to baton and without spending an awful lot look at the MOD knife.

All good advice.

That said I've battoned hard with a Mora & didn't manage to break it.

Here's an excellent example of battoning with a SAK Farmer ! :

Thanks johnny I like the look of that I want something light I carry a load of equipment so wanted something light but looked nice and wanted to learn bushcraft while out I was looking for more people's views on the.bore knife rather than asking stupid question like what knife? this has been asked a million times lol

If your on the bushcraft store, the timber wolf is the one I went for, I made the handle. It was my first knife and still is my go to knife for everything! Batoning, down to making tea spoons I highly recommend it!
