On a side note, it sounds like Andy really knows what his bigger blades are
capable of. I think it is very important to have that kind of experience before a situation arises that requires that type of use. Wouldn't it suck if you had to baton in that manner in a remote location, and broke the tip off?
Yeah, I wanted to make sure that didn’t happen, so I wanted to fully test it myself in adverse weather conditions, beating on it as hard as I could, through tough frozen knotty hardwood. Because if I had any problems, I’d rather they be in my backyard than in the woods where my life could depend on it. I wanted to be able to have full confidance in the ability of my knives.
