- This could be the answer to the endless debate about batoning your knife.
I don't do traditional "reviews". I purchased this, I use this, and I like this. My reviews are based solely on actually using the item for survival tasks, which is why I specify that these are practical application "reviews".

Josh, I totally agree with you that routinely using a knife for batoning is taking a needless chance. Other tools, like the chisel knife, a hatchet, or a thick chopper knife/machete are better suited for the task. Very good. Thank you very much
Subbed mate, good to finely come across someone on CZcams with common sense to the batoning debate. As a carpenter i used to use the wrecking tool and have beaten the crap out of it and its held up fine besides a little chip on the point but sharpened that and its all good still. You'll find the ones with real experience and not learnt from CZcams will only use a knife to baton as you've explained here. Nice one mate I'll watch some more of your vids soon.
Paul thanks for watching and thanks for the sub! The baton debate drives me insane. I really like the wrecking knife too. It’s held up really well
Thanks for the great idea. Added it to my to-get list.
I can recommend the Fiskars Carpenter knife, it's lighter, same blade length.
It has a more ergonomic feel while using it as a knife. It withstands hammering.
I'm not sure about the steel, but so far i'm satisfied with Fiskars.
Sheathe has a sharpener inside so each time you take it out or put it in, it will sharp it.
Awesome job brother. Thanks for sharing.
I have no problem batoning with my Becker BK 2. I removed the paint from mine and it seems to slice through easier. I like the way that steel sharpens also. I too like carbon steel like you do. And I've had my Mora Companion for a very long time. Love me some Scandi grind. Take care.
Never seen a chisel knife before but I get it now.
Looks like a cool piece of gear!
I have been pretty happy with it, it's really useful. Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback.
this was my first choice for a survival knife back a few years ago , bought a lot a knives since but they are not better, most are not near as practical and rugged as the bahco chizel knife , nice vid thanks for sharing
This thing is bulletproof I think, rugged for sure
Thanks for sharing !
No problem! Thanks for watching and always appreciate the comments and feedback.
awesome. i always like pract app over "traditional" reviews. i fall on the baton only if its a survival/emergency situation. thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
Great video my friend!
Thank you!
Heck yeah I found one of them on Amazon was gona keep it with my carving kit But think now might just be my 3rd pack cary the mora brand will clip on to some other mora knifes for a double carry clips onto the mora pro sheath that Little things a beast👍
I have the othed version of this knife with a curved end ground on both sides it can be brought to ouch sharpness you basically get an ultra thick Mora
@DTL not sure if it matters any more but try Miter10 or Sydney Tools. For the knife on the video.
Just found your channel and I am very glad I did. Excellent vids on great topics. A suggestion for a future vid. What EDC cutting instrument would you carry THAT IS TSA COMPLIANT AND WILL GET YOU BY THE SECURITY CHECKS AT MOST PUBLIC VENUES. I have successfully used utility knife replacement blade taped to back of a credit card, mini trauma shears etc. I got tired of getting hassled over a small SAK. I am NOT trying to bust your chops. It is a serious question what type of cutting instrument can you carry, maybe you can’t, that is both TSA compliant and effective. I personally would be very interested in that video. Thanks J
There are some discrete EDC videos in the works, might fit the bill for what you are looking for.
I carry this and swear by it. Its in my hip now. I pair it with a thin magnacut caping knife around my neck and theres nothing i cant handle with those two
I never seen a chisel knife used like that, i always carried a small hatchet to process wood and used my fixed blade knife for skinning and not batoning. I may consider getting a chisel knife for a light b.o.b. im reconfiging since that b.o.b. video
That would be a good choice.
Dude i really enjoy your videos, you definitely know what you're talking about and on top of that, you have a pretty cool dog; It'sit a German shepherd or Belgian malanois?
She is a cross between those two.
VERY NICE
Thanks!
Cool. Also please how to sharpen knives.thanxs
Certainly, I would never baton with either of those light duty knives you have. I have a TOPS bowie that is a quarter inch thick. I don't think twice about sending it through a log.
I have made hundreds of bow and hand drill kits with the Companion and usually billet it through with a baton to make the set out of a larger log with no issues, I definitely don't all on the "never baton" side of the house. I am not a fan of the thicker knives but that is personal preference, I may gain the ability to billet with a baton with a thicker knife worry-free, but my style of survival/bushcraft practice also uses a lot of notches and finer carving tasks that the thicker knives are too clumsy to do. It's always a trade-off.
Funny to me but it reminds me of using a kitchen mallet on a knife to get through a turnip.
Is that bahco full Tang?
I don’t think so, it’s a chisel.
I tested with a magnet it goes about 1/4 from the bottom
That is a Mora knife.
This chisel and the wrecking knife are made in Taiwan out of Japanese SK5 steel. Great tools.
The Bahco 2444 is made by Morakniv in Sweden. It is the old Mora Clipper knife, also great.
Jas Holden stainless steel?
Why not find a stick, instead of all that work!
I think what some consider “all that work” and what I consider “work” must be very different things. The point is to use tools to create things out of “sticks you find”. I rarely find a lot of finished projects laying around the woods.
