Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel

The Cold Steel 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.

Lightweight is a perfect size. I love the fact that it's held together with two big screws. It comes sharpened from the factory. Overall I give it an excellent review

Review by Gizelle W.
<p>I love this shovel. I bought it after seeing it on “Alone”. It’s incredibly useful in our camping kit. Mine came with the sheath, even though I ordered the shovel without one and bought the sheath separately to save a few bucks. I now have two sheaths, and amazon didn’t want the other one back.</p>

<p>shoddy craftsmanship</p>
Review by Jaymi D.
<p>The tool just arrived and the screws attaching the handle to the shovel blade were set in askew so they do not sit flush and I'm sure after digging these screws would create blisters at the very least. Everyone reviewed this shovel as if it was razor sharp. I would say that's a severe exaggeration compared with the item I received yesterday. The shovel has multiple burrs and the edge isn't clean at all. I honestly thought it wasn't sharp ,but it has an edge, be it poorly crafted. I can get a damn fine shovel from my local hardware store for the 18.50 $ I spent on this and get something that works. This Spetznaz entrenching shovel seems like a mantlepiece not a tool for hard use IMAO. I would've gotten one from an army surplus store if I had known this shoddy craftsmanship was the norm. I guess quality control in S.A. is at the bare minimum. This lack of attention to detail is evident in the final product which really makes a nice paperweight. I wouldn't bet my life on this tool, for sure. I have yet to use the shovel so bear that in mind as you read my review.</p>

<p>This is a trench-style shovel similar to</p>
Review by Anglia J.
<p>This is a trench-style shovel similar to that used during WWI and modeled after the Spetsnaz shovel of Soviet times. It is sturdy and the blade very sharp, more so than what I would classify as a utility edge as the product description put it. The shovel is heavy with a solid hardwood handle and a durable steel head. Arrived coated in oil and with the nylon sheath that I didn't order or necessarily want, but now I have a cover for the blade instead of making my own as intended. Solid tool and last-resort weapon based on simple and proven designs that went from trench warfare and digging miles of trenches to cleaving in twain the enemies of the Soviet Union.</p>
