The proper baton technique written by Sharpshooter is imo a very good article.
I personally believe that no matter what the knife you should try to use proper technique.
It developes muscle memory and there may be a time you may have to use someone elses knife or teach the technique to someone that may not have a tough knife.
Good point.
Even with a Bussekin knife, proper technique is probably still a good thing.
Not for the sake of your knife, but for the sake of your ARM. Poor technique can leave you with very sore joints.
