>>98113>Don't baton with a lock-knife>a) whyYou risk breaking a tool that can be used for 10000 different task by using it for something it's not designed to sustain.
b) what if that's all you have with you?
See:
>and if you must baton with a lock-knifeIt's not that much of a contradiction, after all, is it?
>then don't baton with the lock engaged.>a) whyIt pounds on the lock, the weakest part of a lock knife, with every hit. If you disengage the lock and only hit the blade, the lock doesn't take any stress at all.
b) you cannot tell from the pic whether the lock is engaged
Pic is how you're supposed to do it (if you need to split wood and didn't bring the tool for it).
