I'm not >>427392 this guy

the best knife for batoning is one that is built the most like the froe, a durable, solid chunk of sharp steel that has the heft to be driven through hard wood

EDC blades are relatively thin, not full-tang and any folder will quickly break if you tried to baton with it, I don't know what idiot took the OP pic.

if by "edc" you mean keep in a backpack or a car i'd reccommend a becker bk2. a longer knife is better for batoning though.

I know this is probably a b8 thread but here goes anyway.

Ever since youtube came along and every (wannabe) knife tester has been doing batoning tests on any fixed blade they get their hands on, it's been going on for so long now that people have forgotten that you should never use your knife to baton unless you absolutely have, batoning with a knife is a last ditch effort to save your skin.

Batoning is like driving with your feet, sure you can do it but it's still a stupid idea.

I use Moras

Sure they're not full tang, but I always bring 2-3 when /out/ and if one breaks I just chuck it into the lake

so they can fit in your pocket, also weight. a folding blade is inherently unsuitable for heavy work so there is no reason to put a thick ass blade on it

Actually you shouldn't "baton" with an axe, as such. Hammering on the poll is a great way to deform the axe and weaken it.

A folder wouldn't cut it. And those fuckhuge folders are pocket anchors. EDCs aren't woodblades, thus shouldn't be expected to act like one.Even fixed EDC blades (like the Izula/ESEE3) aren't long enough to be used for batoning.

I like my KABAR for batoning, though I try to avoid it now that I have a decent axe that can split things a lot easier. It also really is incredibly hard on the blade. All just to split a log. You should try to save your knife if possible and ask yourself how important it really is to split that log and whether there are better ways to do it.

Actually, the 'baton' is the handle, and the knife is the axe head. You swing the baton and attached blade toward the target piece of wood, and while keeping the handle at least parallel with the ground and perpendicular to your body, strike the aforementioned target wood and split it into two smaller pieces. Also, striking the pole of an axe with a piece of wood isn't going to do shit to it. A sledge hammer? Different story.
