I just went out and batoned a piece of wood (about 2" in diamter) with the folder with the thinnest sharpes hollow ground edge I have.
(thinner that the grips. edge)
it's a slicer for sure.
and it did fine.
also once a small piece like that is already split you would know where the knots are and they would be obvious and things.
obviously there wasn't any quarts of really substantial size, and if it was big enough to do that the the blade... WOW.

you don't see my point... at all.
(and I guess I see yours, but it doesn't make sense for this scenario)
keithere way, I would expect a folder like that (advertised and normally thought of as a good tough folder, that you would pay upwards of 70$ for) to easily stand up to that use, slicer or not.
