>>2137152The "problem" arises when mutts do picrel. The pound the knife down into the wood and hold the handle, beating on the tip of the knife, thus creating two levers and a pivot point that multiplies the force. Even though infinitely retarded, even this type of idiotic behavior will actually usually work unless you hit a knot. However, to mutts knots are just another obstacle you can pound your way through. And this will kill even skeletonized full tangs and thinner non-skeltonized full tangs, so to gap the amount of retardation in the abuse you need a really thick knife which kills cutting performance. Ideally it should also be a longer knife which makes it useless for almost anything you would use a knife for.
So just don't be a mutt. Bring an axe or use a wedge if you're gonna baton.
