My wife just shakes her head when I bring in another gun or knife. She on the other hand doesn't buy hardly anything.My wife has a cure: "I'm OK you buying this gun if you stop buying knives for a while".

It has an almost indestructible feel to it, I'm looking forward to using it
Definitely won't be your last unless you have found some sort of cure.
I'm already thinking about buying a signature bfk!

The SSDFK is great if you’re not planning on doing batoning. The swedge will cut into your baton much easier than the SDFK and ruin it much sooner (the baton).
If you’re not going to baton with it , you’re good to go, you’ll love it.
Congratulations on your 1st CPK

I haven't had any issues batoning with my SSDFK unless the baton wasn't dry enough. Regardless, there's always another "baton" laying around.The SSDFK is great if you’re not planning on doing batoning.

You can also baton using a different method. Stab the knife into a log/round so the blade is standing vertically; then you lay the wood to be split down and feed it into the edge of the blade by pounding the bottom of the wood with a rock/hammer.
It's basically batoning in reverse; the knife is stationary and the wood is batoned into it, rather than the opposite (batoning the knife into the wood).
