I use the shoehorn to prevent puncturing the bladder and rectum while sawing through the pelvis bone. Once I circumvent the anus with my knife I slide the small end of a long modified shoehorn underneath the pelvic bone all the way forward to the abdominal muscles. Then saw downward parallel to the pelvic bone until completely through. Over the years every now again I would nick the bladder with a saw tooth, and we all know the result of doing that. Since using my shoe horn invention never have had a problem. Works like a dam and is very light and easy to carry as it fits into my Knapp saw sheath beside the saw blade.
