I baton soft wood with a monster ESEE fixed blade. It has a super thick blade and I still make sure I am careful and wouldn’t dream of trying to baton green or hard wood. So far so good. 
I have spilt up a few small logs with a 119 and it worked well. If I broke the 119, I would chalk it up to my own dumbassedness and throw out the knife if I couldn’t fix it.
The whole posting videos thing complaining that a knife “broke under hard use that the knife wasn’t intended for but therefore it sucks” is quite idiotic IMO.
I hope Buck tells people like this to buy other brands and deny their warranty requests.
