For me it depends on the size of the wood and how dry it is.

For example, last night I was able to FINALLY have a camp fire. My first since the winter. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Most pieces of wood I was using were from logs about 7 or 8" in diameter which had been split in half once.

If the piece of wood was dry, I used my CGASH as the extra width would split the wood in a heartbeat when batonning. If the piece was still a little green or wet I used the ASHLE. The thinner stock with a satin finish wouldn't bind up as much while cutting down through it.

For the slightly larger pieces I broke out the Sarsquatch since it has a little extra reach so I have a decent target to baton on.

Hope this makes sense! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
