I am looking for a style of knife that will baton firewood well. Does anyone baton firewood with a particular style knife with great success? What knife do you find good for this purpose?
Cheap full tangs are just that .....CHEAP FULL TANGS. If you want an in expensive full tang that won't let you down check out theSurely I thought I could find a cheap full tang. I have seen them at markets. From 15-25.
Hatchet or 4lb mini maul saves me from abusing my knives. Works better too.
Can you tell if the blade metal goes all the way through to the back of the handle and is approximately the width of the handle? The pins seem to indicate it is full tang. Also, how sharp is the swedge on the top of the blade approaching the tip? If too sharp it can seriously degrade your baton.
And did I mention, it's a watermelon choppin machine.
