>>2811108Wrong steel for the job or shit heat treat.
An out knife should be made from 80Crv2 or similar steel, toughness is a million times more important than hardness.
Catra test results matter for glorified box cutters, not for knives you use innawoods.
Recently bought a new axe, a Hultafors Åby forest axe, like it very much, light axe head with a long handle.
Tried using a hatchet for a while, but it's a retarded /out/ meme, a large knife is better for 90% of use cases.
A lightweight axe on the other hand is not a retarded meme, it's actually useful for felling smaller trees, better than a knife or hatchet for splitting firewood, and doesn't weigh any more than the typical hatchet.
