Hi Doug,
  
 Thanks for keeping the ORs coming.  My edits below are in standard BGT format:
  
 EDIT (all caps) – required change
 Edit (initial cap) – suggested change or request for clarification
 Comment – just that, no change required
  
 After revising you need to post the html version of the Report in the Tests/Owner Reviews folder on BackpackGearTest.org, and post the plain text version here, with "Repost," the product name, and your name in the subject line, and with a tinyurl link to the html version in the body of your message.
  
 Cheers, Richard

 Edit: thick-forested [with a hyphen. Or "thickly forested," two words]
  
 ### but primarily use it at camp for batoning wood ###
 EDIT/Edit: "Baton" isn't in the dictionary as a verb. I think I know what you mean, though – " splitting the wood down to the dryer inner parts is something I've found that works very well for getting a fire going in moist environments." Whatever you intend it to mean, say so here, the first place you use the word.

 Edit: The knife's weight's being heavier [possessive in front of a gerund]
