i read a review years ago on the chris reeve aviator, in a uk mag called "survival and outdoor techniques" its no longer in print,in fact hasnt been since about 1995! hmm back to the point, the reviewer pointed out that the saw back has a bevel, this meaning that as the teath are in a straight line they don't cut very deep before the saw jams in its own cut. also if you wanted to use the knife to split small logs, the batton would end up mashed. just my two pennyworth.
