C.R.K.T. Eat’n Tool

Look down for English version in yellow. Enjoy.

Kada govorimo o multitulovima, gadžetima i svakodnevnim sitnicama jedna od nezaobilaznih kompanija je, pored ostalih i C.R.K.T. – Columbia River Knives and Tool’s. Iz njihove radionice ID Works koja je zadužena za dizajn opreme i gadžeta dolazi i ovaj deo svakodnevne opreme popularno nazvan SPORK (kovanica nastala spajanjem engleskih reči Spoon – kašika i Fork – viljuška, slobodno prevedeno „Kaljuška“ – prim.aut.).

Eat’n Tool je suštinski mali džepni gadžet sa nekoliko funkcija. U osnovi to je mala kašika sa urezanim zubima na vrhu kako bi se mogla koristiti i kao viljuška. Poput svih drugih multit alata ni ovaj neće u potpunosti zameniti redovnu kašiku i viljušku, ali će sigurno u određenim uslovima biti veoma koristan. Kada se govori o specifičnim uslovima, pre svega se misli na hiking, šetnje u prirodi, kampovanja, izlete, lov, ribolov, biciklizam i uostalom sve aktivnosti na terenu i u prirodi gde je neophodno smanjivanje težine opreme i maksimalno iskorištenje svega što bi zauzimalo prostor. Upravo u ovakvim uslovima se C.R.K.T. Eat’n Tool najbolje snalazi i pokazuje svoju potpunu funkcionalnost.

Pored osnovne funkcije kašike i viljuške – spork, Eat’n Tool ima još nekoliko dodatnih opcija koje se mogu iskoristiti. Na jednom delu je otvarač za flaše, tu je takođe ravni šrafciger koji se može koristiti i kao poluga, kao i tri šestougaona otvora koji služe kao okasti ključ sa OK 8, 9 i 10. Takođe za lakše nošenje, kao i da se ne bi zagubio Eat’n Tool je opremljen i malim aluminijumskim karabinjerom.

C.R.K.T. Eat’n Tool je dugačak svega 10ak centimetara i težak samo 43gr, izrađen je od nerđajućeg čelika 3CR13 koji je još poznat i kao „plastic mold steel“ i koji je izuzetno otporan na koroziju i ima sveukupno dobre karakteristike. Završna obrada ovog alata je peskarenje i površina je vrlo prijatna na dodir i za oko.

Upotrebljavajući Eat’n Tool u nekoliko navrata moram najzad da zaključim da je veoma upotrebljiv i koristan dodatak mojoj opremi. Odlično je poslužio za par konzervi graška i pasulja, pirinač i gulaš, kao i meso. Ali takođe moram priznati da je ishrana iz bilo koje dublje posude donekle nezgodna zbog male dužine Eat’n Tool-a, a to mu je i najveća zamerka.

Ukoliko ste aktivni i mnogo se krećete napolju, idete na duge šetnje po prirodi, planinarenje, izlete ili vozite mountin bike, svakako obezbedite sebi jedan C.R.K.T. Eat’n Tool jer će vam po izuzetno prihvatljivoj ceni pružiti mnogo ukusnih zalogaja, i ponešto više.

 When we talk about multitools, gadgets and everyday carry an unavoidable companie, among others, is CRKT - Columbia River Knife and Tool's. From their studio ID Works which is responsible for the design of equipment and gadgets comes what is widely known as SPORK.

Eat'n Tool is essentially a small pocket gadget with several functions. Basically it's a small spoon with carved teeth on top that could be used as a fork. Like all other multitools this one will not completely replace the regular spoon and fork, but certainly in some circumstances will be very useful.

Also for easy carrying and that tool would not be misplaced Eat'n Tool is equipped with a small aluminum carabineer.

C.R.K.T.

Finishing of this tool is bead blast surface, and it is very pleasant to the touch and the eye.

After using Eat'n Tool several times I finally concluded that it is very versatile and useful addition to my equipment. It served great for couple of cans of peas and beans, rice and stew, and roasted meat. But I also must admit that eating the food from any deeper vessels is somewhat awkward because of the small length of Eat'n Tool, and this is the main disanvantage to it.
