Heavy Duty Battoning !

[Cpl Punishment]

Yep, SR101 -- 52100 ball bearing steel with a proprietary heat treat.

 

[TWBryan]

Yup. I remember the battle rat being touted as differentially tempered.

Nice! Western Red Ceder? Working on my plant ID lab right now

Looks like an Arbor Vitae (Thuja Occidentalis), an ornamental.

That's some good kindling wood there and when the folige dries out, look out - it's like gasoline! Don't pile up too much of it on your fire lay or you won't have to trim your eye brows. Smells good too.
