Description

The Special Forces Shovel is modeled after the original Soviet Spetsnaz shovel. The Spetsnaz were the Soviet army's most elite unit, renowned for their deadly efficiency. Trained to travel light, the Spetsnaz packed only the bare essentials. This included a unique shovel which had a broad flat blade and 3 sharp versatile edges. Cold Steel's shovel follows the Soviet design as faithfully as possible with newer improvements in the steel (twice as thick as the original) and heat treatment.Specifications:- Weight: 26.6 oz- Overall Length: 19.68"- Handle: Hardwood- Thickness: 2mm (Shovel Head)

    • Will not be without it.
I have had one of these for over a decade. The handle needs to be modified to be flat on both front and back sides. I cut grooves to prevent slippage. After that you're done. These shovels are tough. I've never broken one. I've had a couple stolen but that's it, these things don't tap out. I've felled trees far larger than you'd expect were possible with one of these. They are versatile and if you need a defensive weapon you'll do no better. Plus it digs pretty good too. ... show more

    • Every vehicle should have one of these.
For ever reason imaginable you should have one of these in your car. It’s not a full size shovel but it beats the crap out of digging with your hands, a spade, etc. it’s a great small camp shovel. It’s not for planting bushes or shoveling snow. It’s really good for a travel tool within easy reach. It’s reasonably indestructible. Unless you abuse it. Much is made of it being sharpened. It’s sort of sharp. It can be made really sharp. That makes it a better digging tool for a small shovel. It is an effective hatchet. The handle on mine a very solid. Need to get the cover to safely store it. No brainer. It’s a great tool for its intended design - portability ... show more

    • Multi tool madness
This is the kind of thing you buy twice. In my case, I saved some time on my part and bought two for some strange reason. But anyway, despite being thoroughly canvassed by others as a multi tool, I cannot help but rhapsodize about its uses as well. It came out of the box sharp, though scuffed a bit and a little ragged on the edges. But man, or woman, those steely edges are strong! I immediately hopped away from the scene of opening with my new shovels, and started digging happily at the ice and snow on our patio, when I struck stone. And while the stone was damaged, to say the least, I slit my skin on the edge, though not hard enough to draw blood. I then went over to our local bamboo grove and started hammering at a fallen stand of bamboo. Boy is it loud, but man, does it work! I would suggest any special forces commandos out there, to purchase it, but not for covert operations, because loud noises tend to attract enemy fire, so I am told, though I could be wrong... anyway, this baby, or babies in my case, can be used for anything, virtually anything. The steel will fulfill all but your wildest destructive or constructive fantasies (in other words, no trying to split diamond). I would recommend getting a shovel blade bag for it, because the edges are factory sharpened to be relatively keen. Beware, though, this most likely qualifies as a weapon in the eyes of law enforcement, my dear mother will not let me leave the house with it even though I am a nearly full grown nineteen year old, and despite what my preceding reviewers said, it would probably be bad if you were caught with a razor edged shovel in your possession without a weapons license of some kind. So, be warned, this is more functional as an all around machete than as a shovel, though I admit it does dig well. If you are buying it because you want to dig holes, I recommend the inteletool system on amazon. If you are buying it because it looks, smells, and feels like it would beat the zombie apocalypse back single handled-ly, than this is well worth your money. Sturdily built, expertly tempered, rather inexpertly sharpened, this tool will nonetheless make you feel like a genuine one man army, if only for a moment before reality sets in. Just remember, once again, this kind of entrenching tool was used to decapitate the enemy in the army, use great caution when swinging it around people, because harmless, this tool is not. EDIT: I just chopped a fair sized branch in half with one of my two shovels, and it is a more than decent chopper. I spend every day honing the edges on one my shovels, so it works with a vengeance. But, in the end, a good kukri will still outdo the cold steel shovel in chopping, unfortunately. But a kukri cannot dig well, and a kukri can't slice like this shovel can. Peace. ... show more

    • Very versatile piece of gear. Great value.
Review Image by justin merolla justin merolla
I now, no longer consider carrying a hatchet. I can accomplish much more carrying this shovel and a larger pack axe. This shovel can do NEARLY everything a hatchet can... but also much more. I often use this shovel for carving tent stakes,And tripod legs. Wich saves the edge of my knife. I also find it great for chopping ice that builds up around a firepit. I do a lot pf winter trips. And the only thing i did not like about this shovel is that the handle came with a coating of slick laqure on it. Terrible for when you have gloves on and/or snow/wetness. But i simply sanded off all the laqure and gave the handle a few coats of tung oil. Much better grip now. But still allows your hands to move freely. All in all. I love. Very functional and affordable. ... show more
