Kitchen prep work no doubt.

Can you baton it through a pineapple?

I really like straight backs for batoning and I think the sweeping blade gives some nice curly pig things for fire!

Did you baton it through a house?

Then did you even BOTHER to test it?

No house baton tests yet....that's for kids! I am going right for the big heavy "Jason Masked Guy" so he can step on it.

That's a nice looking knife. I really like the walnut handles, the look great. Walnut is a classy wood.

More use pictures.

For anyone who ever thought 3/32-inch thick knives are not good for wood splitting!
