Oh man, I totally almost cut my finger off with a BK9 doing what Ethan says NOT to do when batoning. Got a few stitches from that. Lessons were learned, shoulda watched a video like this first and not been so tired!
I've been building fires in the woods my whole life.... Never once had I ever "battoned" wood to do that.... It's dangers ... Hard on your blade and 100% unnecessary.
For one thing...and i mean, it's astounding how so many will be seen 'not doing it..... common sense people..................wait for it............................................ ALWAYS, and i mean ALWAYS....Wear some type of Gloves when handling these knives??.....Gee, ya think?...........so many videos of guys ( and ladies) showing us how to cut things, wood, whatever.... and, they are exposing the hands to this potentially disastrous chore.... going 'gloveless. wow?....beyond me?. Put your god damn gloves on. it only makes sense.
@@njrtech how hard is it to buy a axe as it is to buy a knife . It s not hard to .frist of all I would never go in to the. Wood s to cut down tree s and tree limb s.
@@njrtech I only carry a knife with me, using dead fallen wood I have never had the need for an axe when there is plenty of deadwood standing that I can saw or snap to size.
My ex wife wanted half of everything when we split. So I used my BK2 to baton the house clean in half. Thanks for your help Ethan!

I do not believe in batoning with a knife that's what an axe is for .I've seen people batoning with very nice knifes an that's just plain stupid .
Rickey Bullington not if it’s the only tool you have with you
