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/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]
