you just take the picture nick... but when I was holding the fuzz stick sideways it wasn't enough for the camera to pick up, so thats why the last pic (from a different angle) is so clear.
noss- yeah that rao could stand up to just about anything. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> if this folder could do it, I think most can. the linerlock failed a few times, but actually if you use the right technique, I don't think its all that hard on the knife... I actually batoned on the back of the blade, not the tip. that helped alot.
vic- wow, I guess you do learn something everyday. I really hate splitting with an axe, it seems more dangerous and takes more skill.

EMF, Great pix of abuse to that Blur by Kershaw Knives. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Do me a favor try that spell check before you post. That spelling of yours is driving me nuts! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> www.iespell.com Installs in a moment and is a 1.2 MB program, very tiny. It collapses under the "Tools" drop down menu on the explorer task bar. Very useful,and kind to others! I spell horribly too so I always use mine! Otherwise people would know how illerate I really am! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> Well done! Peace.

that was a lot of batoning for such a small folder. I am impressed, thanks for sharing.

sorry P.o.P It's hard to find the mistakes with all the image codes in there. I'll see if I can donwload that some time. thanks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
my kershaw vapor (an 18$ knife) also batons hardwood like a champ! the lock never failed (frame locks, you gotta love 'em!) and the edge is fine. there is alot of blade play now, but nothing an allen key can't solve. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

EMF, these knives handle it so well although it is "abuse" i don't see at as really abusing the knife if that is what you want it for. it is easier to carry a folding knife and these folders handled some hard work
