That's golden, she is wise beyond Yoda. :D

Funny, but she's wrong  :facepalm:

Men are the ones being exploited, we end up on the living room floor in underwear surrounded by a collection of knives able to "span the average log", eating peanut butter from the jar, mumbling "Nutnfancy made me do it"   :climber:

He does explain that you should only baton with the blade at 90 degrees so you don't break the spring. Probably best not to baton anything too large either

True
He only does it for small crafts, and it is just to start a wedge, but it still makes me cringe for some reason.

Not only can the backspring be broken, but the saw is the thinnest tool SAKs have. I've bent two because I slipped while cutting a tree limb (normal use). Messing around, I've been able to split smaller pieces of wood by using the saw to CUT a notch to start a wedge, then carving a wedge, which I would then drive it in with a larger stick or rock.

I noted some discolored spots on the blade of my Becker BK9. I think it got a BTD (Baton Transmitted Disease).

Each of those BK with coating probably will get that disease, one way or another.  :D   That's why I usually do prefer knife without coating, and probably better slicing performance too.

I do apologize for not reading the whole thread to see if this was addressed...

There's a suggestion of opening the blade to a right angle, so that the stress is off the backspring when you baton the spine. 

Edit: yup - it's been addressed.  I'll leave this here as a reminder that I'm not that clever.

If you must baton, perhaps a hacking knife is better than a bushcraft knife.
