Batoning techniques from the man himself.

Another great video from Chance Sanders featuring Ethan Becker.

Good video.

Clubbing, I like it, batoning does sound like something to do with cheerleading.

:thumbup: more technique and knowledge then brute force! I like it.

One weekend I took my son up for some camping at Ethan's and he taught Zack how to baton with his BK16. These knives are made for hard use which is why I like them so much.

good to take a break with this from studying all day

So my technique of swinging a heavy blade haphazardly with brute strength won't work?

 

[Ethan Becker]

Of course that works Murph...... That method is therapeutic clubbing...... Breaking stuff with overwhelming force always makes me feel ever so much better...... Think of the Corps as a very large therapy group!..... Lol...... E

nice video one more reason to buy beckers the man himself teaches you how to use them

Can a theory of Special Warfare be applied to splitting wood?

That theory is that a smaller lesser armed force can overtake a larger better armed force through surprise, speed and violence of action.

Great informative video, thanks for taking the time to make it...

Do there is a technique for swinging a knife wildly and haphazardly? In hopes of splitting wood smaller? Hmmmm I guess I still am learning. Cut myself yesterday. Need to learn more.

My new Becker just arrived, and the warranty info says no "batoning" is allowed.
Shall I assume that since it doesn't mention "clubbing", I'm good to go making some kindling sticks for a fire this weekend (assuming it gets warmer out than the 25 degrees we had this morning?

Great vid.

I really like that Ethan covered the, "batoning through a knot" aspect of clubbing.

One small critique; I would have liked to see Ethan vocally address (for some of the less knowledgable folks) why he's hitting the pointy end of the blade and not the handle end of the blade.

I just mention this because sometimes we get the, "I broke my knife while batoning" thread here.

And, after some responses and pics we discover that many times those breaks have occurred because the person was clubbing the handle end of the spine.
