>>653047Sorry the pic was to suggest an axe not an auger.
Basically what I was meaning was if you need to split wood you bring the right tool for the job, whatever it is (sharpened crowbar style knife like a Becker, axe, wedges and a maul, hatchet)
It's only in the last few years it's become common place to baton your knife and to consider its 'batonability' as an important factor. It's practically meme tier at this point. It's perfectly possible to start a fire without batoning wood.
And FWIW if I were in a survival situation I'd be even LESS likely to baton my knife. Risk of catastrophic failure, risk of damage to edge, not worth it IMO.
