Well, First I want to say, I made this one a quicky today because I'm not having the best day with the chronic fatigue, so forgive me for getting this more less "done"
The first thing I want to get out of the way is that I didn't baton this knife, I personally think its too small to do so. Its only a tad larger than a Mora, and just isnt made for it, though I know it can due to a few other reviews.
The first test was to try the ol' revolver H at some fire starting. Now I tested two things here, one; how well it could shave some dry spruce, and two; how well it through sparks from the spine of either the knife or saw blade.
As you can see it did a fine job of making shavings for the "step up" from tinder. (I did this inside, just to have a little more control)
Now we move it outside and try out some fire making. So the spine of the saw and the knife only through a few sparks. So I sanded the spine of the saw with some 1500 grit sand paper and it would through sparks like the saw on a sak.
I did this and got a fire going the first run (something though, I like to use the stuffing out of a pillow, And it works so amazingly well. If you can ever find a pillow for sale at walys or somewhere for a dollar pick it up and take the suffing. I had an old neck pillow, took the stuffing out and have been using that).
So this is where we were outside, some shavings and some pillow fluff ready to go.
Then, with on swipe of the ferro rod, Fire
Now, after this test I thought mabye the only reason the fire went so good was because of the tinder, and not the amount of sparks coming off the ferro rod (sunny and cant see the sparks) So I tried it with some normal drier lint and got the same result on the first run.
(it is burning, just cant see the flame due to the other light)
Ok, at this stage we now know the knife can easily get the stuff to make me nice and warm. And I know no doubt it could baton small branch's, but I didn't want to.
Now the next step is the obvious, trying the saw. I tried the saw on a piece of 4X4 because if it can do that it I would be good.
So just imagine a 3d rectangular prisim in your head, this first picture is the "front" face.
The "top"
And finally the "back"
After doing, what seemed like double what it took for the fiskars and gerber saws, I had done about half of what was acheived from the fiskars and gerber saws. understandable though, its saw is half the size, or close to it.
\/\/\/ Little bit more in an hour os so\/\/\/
