Looking at getting either a companion ( carbon) or a companion HD (heavy duty) (carbon steel), the standard companion has a 2mm spine and the companion HD has a 3.2mm spine, can I split wood/baton (not too large of wood, no thicker than the knives blade length) relatively often with the standard companion without worry of breaking, will also use back of knife to strike Gerri rod, HD is more expensive and I don’t want to spend too much money at the moment submitted by /u/Dry-Bar-7200 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Looking for a relatively lightweight, possibly water resistant/repellant (don’t need water “proof” but perfectly fine if it is) that is durable and will work for 3 seasons, primarily spring and summer clothing though as I oddly don’t get very cold.

Looking for a rust prevention/blade protective oil or wax/paste that goes on evenly, will protect a coating/ at least not damage it (such as phosphate coating, oxide coating, nickel/tin coating etc) will last a decent amount of time, will prevent corrosion or rust after hard and regular/ frequent use and will all around work well for an axe, saw and knife, some of which have light coatings (not like cerakote or powder coat but like a nickel/tin coating on the silky Outback saws or a black oxide or phosphate coating on a knife) submitted by /u/Dry-Bar-7200 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

The curvy on has at least three striking surfaces. It is super versatile, and the handle area is oblong, making it great for doing long splits in hard wood.
