Bill,
Becker BK2 not for rough use or splitting wood?? Man, you should see on the beckerforum what kind of abuse these knives take and then ask for more....
(check this out!
Putting the BK2 to the test, so you don't have to...)
A quarter inch thick piece of 1095CrVan steel should take a lot of abuse really well, I reckon..
And my Gränfors axe is a preferred axe of many bushcrafters, including Ray Mears...
I think you are underestimating the BK2. (I did do some research before I bought it)
Good tip on the 914 transmissioncap!
Jim,
My axe is a 420 small forest axe. (cost me about 75 euro/55usd)
already following MCQ, he makes good videos.
I'm still looking for a good machete, preferably a Kabar becker BK6. (Hard to find)
