>>2821605- hatchets are not an ideal tool for splitting. you would really want a boys axe to be much more quick or efficient than a knife. batoning with a knife is also safer than splitting with a hatchet.
- a knife's a lot smaller to pack and even a prybar knife has secondary functions in the firemaking process and tertiary functions outside of firemaking that a hatchet or axe doesn't have.
- you don't need a very long knife to split wood.
- pry bar knives aren't as bad for cutting as you think, you're not going to do fine woodcarving with them but who fucking cares they'll do every task you actually need. you can make dinner with a bahco demo knife and make tent pegs with it what more do you need? if you want to make art out in the woods get a puukko or something.
- you can take a small carving knife with you if you really wish.
- plenty of knives can baton just fine without prybar geometry. even a lot of good slicers and woodcarving knives can baton decent sized wood safely.
- making any campfire is tedious. campfires are almost always unnecessary creature comforts anyways. plenty of people don't even make one, and just plan around that.
- who cares if its destructive to the knife when we live in a world where EXCELLENT $10 bushcraft knives exist and endgame ones start around $100.
- you can do a HELL of a lot more with a $20 corona saw and a $10 hulafors knife than you can with a hatchet for less weight.
>it's been the fuel for a while marketing blitz of heavy knives that produced a "need" for full tangs, which some people see as totally contrivedabsolutely true, knife design has leaned a bit too hard into it.
