Sorry if this is a dupe, there's a banner ad for it on smc, but this looked interesting for riving smaller pieces:

Looks perfect for splitting spruce for brace material.

Hey, I wish I'd had one of those when I was a Scoutmaster! That would be perfect for splitting campfire wood.

Actually a couple of years ago they were selling just the blade for five bucks or something so I went that route and made my own handle. Same idea and handy.

I've seen many-a-poor drawknife that was used for batoning.

I actually have 2 of those blades, I think they were closing them out a few years ago for like $3. I've never put handles on but use them for utility.
