I've already batoned with my DCDM. Any fixed blade will do - as Horndog said, you just have to watch how big of bite you take.

I've cut down a 3 1/2" dead tree with my TAK-1 and then started batoning it just to see what it would do.

I don't know I would baton with a folder unless it was a true ememrgency and realizing that the lock would probably end up damaged in the process. I've see people doing it - just depends on the model.

Your RMD would do just fine as well.

I like to baton with my BM-e! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
