I don't know. I geuss it is better than nothing, and she put it to good use. I think I would still stick with a good trusty knofe though. Where I'm at, meat could be an easy acquired source for food and I don't wan't to try that tool for cleaning. It does make one think about what else is available that could be used though. Hmmmmm.

It would be one tool that you would have if you do any amount of chain sawing....just would have never thought about it.
Come to think about it, I have a pair of fencing pliers.... that have a pick, nippers pry bar and hammer on it, always seems to be the firdt thing I grab for one quick hit, pry or cutting stuff.....Hummmm

I've got several as well. After looking at her "survival" uses, I'm gonna pass. It's great that she is thinking outside the box so to speak, but if I'm preparing - I'm preparing with more functional tools.
The ability to look at an object and figure out multiple uses (see the multi-use thread) is an important skill to have. Looks like she is being creative in her thinking.

I'm thinking you are correct, not something I would carry around......intresting.

The one thing I like is it's use as a pully or other use for rope and grip. Though proper knots will accomplish that too. I'd still rather have a knife.
