Hi, I am considering buying the Beating Heart.
My use would be mostly batoning wood. With a secondary function as a GREAT SURVIVAL knife.
Overall in your use how has the Beating Heart performed???

It would work for batoning and an overall great camp knife. But if batoning would be the primary function I would get one of the .320 thick HHFSH knives. That has much more of a wedge profile. The Beating Heart is only .210 thick.

Just my humble opinion.
But remember we are talking about knives that can be pounded through a piece of rebar. The Beating Heart will work.

Thx so much for replying! I agree a thicker spine gets that wedge going!
Another reason I like Beating Heart is the weight at 20.5 once's. Could easily serve as a belt knive! Pretty versatile.

Currently Busse is only offering the MOAT with a .370 spine. Everything else is .210 in there currently available knives!
I have used the SKRAMA 240 with a .188 spine for batoning & it works pretty good!
But it's not Busse!
