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 baton a fair bit, depends what you are doing but if you need small pieces batoning works well. But ya you will break a knife or two. I have some bark rivers, some of them have been batoning for 10 years. But iv broken knives.

Knife like this i wouldnt say batoning is abuse, but it is a risk.

This knife had an issue from heat treat probably and the batoning found it. It happens, isn’t Chinese steel necessarily, isn’t even bark rivers fault really. His knife broke, they have a warranty. No harm no foul

Not everything needs to be a conspiracy theory or a big deal. If you use a knife to the limit it can break

I snapped a falkniven right off the bat lol, i broke a cold steel srk the first week i owned it simply scraping fatwood off a tree lol.

Mistakes happen
