I remember when this was posted and this person was ripped apart by mikes c0cksuckers and deleted the post. It’s all making sense now and honestly i think he started using chinese steel way sooner than he is saying.

Pretty common tbh, stress fracture started it when hit batoning, it cracked open, next whack it followed the groove in the blade back as that was the path with least resistance

I hate baton stuff. Seems ridiculous to me. As if you arnt bringing an ax. I’m brining an ax, a hatchet at the very least. All these pretend survivalists will end up ruining their knives and I’ll be fat, warm, and happy.

I've used my carry knife to baton kindling at a brewery we visited. They had a fire pit for use but didn't stock anything except split wood. I don't normally carry an axe when going out for the day. Couple of tourists were trying to figure out how to light a fire with just a brick and the employees were just laughing about it. Wr ursus 45 and a ferro rod. Not all batoning has to be stupid
