I keep a pointer trawl in my garage for such tasks. At one time I kept one in my truck when I used to hit a lot of muddy spots working. I was wondering how your CRK did "taking pictures"? Now that is a versatile knife. Maybe a camera tool on a SAK in the future?One time I was out taking pictures with my CRK and stepped in some dog. The knife was put to work scraping that sh## off from all the crevices in a nearby bathroom. I think that was the dirtiest job it had to do

I've handled one of those 110's as a younger person, and found it likely to be very "capable" but also rather clunky. I find my own tastes to be in the sleek and refined league.A cheap buck 110 could have done the same job.

So, that's my (latest) not so exciting story of realizing you might as well just use your damn knife or not bother carrying it.
What's yours?
Good luck!,hope you don't change your mind when you finally get to have the knife on your hands.I'm guilty of being one of those people who has knives I end seeing as "too nice to use" and never using them. As I'm not a collector, I tend to sell those when it becomes clear I'm never gonna use it. If I'm willing to carry it, I am willing to use it at least. But, I tend to carry what's good enough quality and $ wise to do what I want/need, but not so expensive I will freak out if it gets scratched. I'm still working on getting passed that, and doing so in baby steps.
I'm awaiting a really nice custom blade I have every intention of making an EDC, and plan to resist my "too nice" tendencies. This one will be a test! Wish me me luck.
These would make great "motivating" pics to include with overdue billing notices .![]()

My wife said, "No! That's disgusting." I would have to agree. Then again, she says I'm disgusting.My 3yo son dropped a bomb of a crap in the toilet and jammed it up right at the hole... my full custom knife went straight to work chopping up, and down it went.
A proper cleaning and I was using the same blade to pick food out of my teeth just minutes later.
I use my knives for everything!
I use a 3 gallon pail for occasions like that. I find a carefully aimed pour from ~3’ above the bowl will almost alway bust up the troubling blockage. No muss, no fuss, no direct contact and no E. coli contamination that could make me sicker than I care to get. On the rare occasion that technique doesn’t work, a metal clothes hanger used to bust up the clog (and then put directly into the outdoor garbage can) has always solved that kind of problem for me. As for using a knife to pick food out of your teeth just minutes after using the knife to bust up a shit blockage in a toilet (cleanings notwithstanding) -- you’re a lot more daring than I am.My 3yo son dropped a bomb of a crap in the toilet and jammed it up right at the hole... my full custom knife went straight to work chopping up, and down it went.
