>>96649Did the handle get loose after you chopped it?
Batoning is when you put the knife on the middle of a log and hit the back(baton) of the spine of the blade with another stick, to cut the log in half.
Its used as a substitute for a hatchet. And when you want to make firewood, its a life saver. Though, the Gator has the saw with which it can saw through everything, but it much more time consuming than batoning imo.
I have no idea atm, though i think im leaning towards the kukri as well.
Granted, this can destroy your machete, so i don't really know if the CS kukri is up for it. After all, its CS.
