Using a 1311 takes a bit of use to understand, just like a machete. Saying that, enough time with any tool and you can figure all kinds of task that can be performed with it--intended and unintended. Eventually I am going to pair a Swamp Warden or Scrapivore to my 1311 to finish it out. Saying all this I have not used my 911 much but plan to change that real soon so I may change my mind but I am basing this assumption off the DF and DFLE.
