I don't know how to baton but should he have hit it near the tip? Or with something softer than a hammer?

More importantly, use the fucking hatchet to chop your wood.
The hatchet was made for this fucking purpose.
Don't use your fucking knife.
It was not made for this fucking purpose.

You don't have to swing your hatchet at the wood. You can place it on the log and hit the hatchet with another log. Once the hatchet is stuck in the log, lift hatchet and log together and swing that.

When I am out innawoods and want to build a fire I will start with very small diameter twigs. The dead ends of pine tree branches, for example, that are about the diameter of a pencil lead. I will add twigs of increasing size, the diameter of a pencil , for example, and increase the amount of wood and size of the branches until I have the fire I want.
I say all of this because I have built hundreds of fires in all conditions over the years. I have a nice wood fire going in my Fisher Papa Bear wood stove right now. I am currently burning a mix of seasoned red oak and white oak I harvested about 3 years ago.
Anyway, I do not have anything against batoning but I rarely do it. Just never need to. Is it because I live in Appalachia and fire wood is so plentiful ? so I never have to baton to build a fire ?
In these knife threads someone always brings up batoning like it is some critical knife performance measure. Which is fine, but it puzzles me since I never need to do it. It would be a waste of time and energy for me to baton because the size wood I need is always available.
I am truly blessed here in my Appalachian refuge and wish the best for all of you all wherever you may be

- incorrect blade profile
- incorrect blade grind
- subpar blade finish, will just come off
- suboptimal blade length
- unnecessary and improper blade thumb rest
- improper handle, exposed metal in clod weather
- no lanyard hole
- suboptimal handle color, visibility
- suboptimal handle shape
- suboptimal handle texture

that's a terrible knife

I just got a bk7 a few days ago.
The handle texture isn't the WORST but it makes me wonder if they did plan it to be shit so you'd buy the add on micarta handles.
Because they can make a more textured plastic.
That last screw hole is a lanyard hole.
