>>664790For the weight and size its an easy addition to your kit, and gives you the option of splitting wood with something you're meant to split wood with. I can get that not everyone wants to carry a maul, but when you can pack a wedge for relatively cheap (in price, weight, and size) for splitting, using a knife seems silly. If you take the time to watch batoning videos and whatnot, it means you want to split wood (for whatever reason). So why not invest in a purpose built woodsplitter? I thought it was a meme at first but for $15 shipped, I kind of want to try it.
