By the time you get done modding it, it will be a 1” blade.

I say you put a swedge on it, I don't think you will be batoning with it anyway.

Never know, might want to split a toothpick.

I think it looks good bro, makes me want one of the new clip points even more...I may end up clip pointing my RC4 if you keep showing these mods lol.

Swedges really have very little impact on batoning. The knife goes in with the grain a lot easier than against it. Does anybody actually have a special baton they use? For me it's just another piece of wood I'm going to burn anyway

you might consider a "microswedge" - just bevel the first 1/4"-3/8" behind the point for better penetration, without making it so obvious that an LEO might consider it to be a dagger or double edged knife. (IIRC, sharpened swedge less than 1/3 of blade length does not = double edged, but more than 1/3 might, depending on where you live)
