Should i buy a new knife for survuval purposes?

[DeadboxHero]

I was thinking if my Green Beret is capable or not to cross baton a 2inch log/wood, until i saw noss baton his Green Beret on a 5-6 inch wood plank(not cross grain) and it had a half-1 inch knot in it! I was surprised, although Noss need some time to go through it.

I know, i know. My Green Beret doesn't have to be a great tool, but it have to be capable enough to baton reasonable sized wooden objects in a survival situation.

Blah blah blah dang It!! I didn't word that right

I meant it doesn't have to be unbreakable to be an awesome knife.

It's a cutting tool first. Not a wrecking bar.

Thats nice piece of S35vn on that puppy.

If use it right your getting a ton of wear resistance, decent toughness corrison resistance and ease of sharpening.

I think your solid.

Go baton it

Its all about wood selection and technique

I suggest you to check Dawson knives. They are hand made in Prescott/AZ mostly 5160 steel. their show prices are a little better than their web site and i am sure you can negotiate the price if you contact them.
