So you simply MUST baton?

"So you simply MUST baton? "

Hmmm. same reason I practice CPR- to develope a skill that I pray I never have to use in real life. Like many "survival skills"- gunplay, shelter building, etc. When out in the woods, I always have at least a hatchet, prefer a boys axe-no one PLANS to be in a bad situation but it does not hurt to at least devleop some ability for those unexpected situations that come up. You can never prepare for everything and batonning is not rocket science but a little practice does no harm.

Hear hear! Much too simple and if you get the same fetish groups interested in the beauty of these guaranteed there will be spin-off aircraft-grade 2015 stainless, camo jobs, tactical-grade and magnum versions that emerge. Top it off hundreds of 'new', 'improved' and 'collector customs' will also enter the fray to ensure that you absolutely "must have" the latest one. And then ultimately the Chinese will start making them.

Hahaha - that's good.
 
I had never heard of a Froe, but it looks cool. I like to baton because I enjoy abusing my 3V knives, but I will use a splitting maul or axe if I have it. Being able to get more versatility out of a never is never a bad thing. Batoning with crappy knives, or batoning incorrectly, is stupid, because of the obvious dangers, but why care if others want to baton with their knives?
