>>1044524Chips? Doing what, cutting something? Or batoning firewood?
If you're cutting shit, good stainless won't chip out. It's only when you start acting like a youtube university dipshit and abuse your cutting tool that's when you run into problems.
A hatched works infinitely better for firewood prep.
When a carpenter batons they're doing so with carefully selected wood. It's straight grained, knot free, and cut to a dimension. Also, the tool is a modified chisel.
When youtube trained car campers baton it's typically with zero regard for wood selection.
A good bushcrafter will never baton anything bigger than 2" around, just to make kindling. We're walking willow branches, not quarters from a foot wide tree.
Don't be dumb.
