Cold Steel Spetsnaz Tactical Shovel – Ideal for Camping, Survival and Outdoor Activities

Mario Fussen: Ich finde den Spaten perfekt. Er ist stabil und es macht Spass damit zu arbeiten. Auf youtube findet man ja genug Videos zu diesem Cold Steel Spaten. Wichtig zu erwähnen du kannst damit zwar hacken aber es ist immer noch ein Spaten und keine Axt. Ich würde ihn wieder kaufen

Gino C.: La pelle top: Dommage que le porte pelle ne sois pas inclus, quitte à augmenter le prix, car pour le commander après cout , d’après les commentaire 1 chance sur 2 que le produit soit trop petit.
je ne comprends pas les commentaires ça va ou ça ne vas pas ,c'est pas 50/50
donc pour cette raison je ne commande pas ce porte pelle

Shovel is nice. Sheath does not fit shovel whatsoever. Total shame. Sheath would have been nice had it not been too small.Shovel is nice. Sheath does not fit shovel whatsoever. Total shame. Sheath would have been nice had it not been too small.: The shovel seem very high quality. Was very disappointed to pay an extra 10$ for a sheath that doesn’t fit this shovel

Jesse C: Interestingly, more people are felled in combat by shovels than knives. I suppose with this in mind, the Russian special forces (Spetznaz) came up with their own combat shovel. While using this as a melee weapon is definitely not recommended for legal and ethical reasons, as an actual tool, this shovel can do it all. Tough as nails, and the shovel blade edges are pretty sharp out of the box but not razor sharp. You can chop with it, as a make shift survival blade, if you so choose. Mostly I chose this shovel as something compact to keep in the truck in case of road side emergencies. Having a compact shovel in your vehicle is one of the more underrated "just in case" preparations, and this one feels like an absolute pro. There is a smaller version as well, called the Special Forces shovel also by Cold Steel.

Ray Arters: Out of the box, it wasn't sharp, but that was easy to fix. I also steel wooled off a bunch of the lacquer on the handle to make it less slippery. Once that was done, I took it out to see what it'll do. It'll dig holes, and can also be used as a machete and will do chopping, though I wouldn't go hog wild trying to punch above it's weight where chopping is concerned if I had a tool more in line for the task. I am a practitioner of keeping a shovel in my vehicle. I have the smaller version in my car, and I got the bigger one for my jeep. Had the smaller one your years, and it's always worked, but I would say don't throw it unless you got a spare handle and don't mind changing it. If you really must throw, cold steel has a fine line of tomahawks that are more than up for throwing. Overall, get yourself a cold steel shovel for your vehicles survival kit, and if you ever need it, you'll be glad it's there.

Fabio: Ho anche diversi coltelli di questo marchio cinese di qualità. Anche con questa piccola pala non si smentisce, perfetta per gli usi da campo. Robustissima, nulla a che vedere con le varie pieghevoli che si trovano un po’ dappertutto, occupano meno spazio ma in quanto ad efficacia non c’é proprio paragone. Purtroppo il fodero, che per la propria sicurezza é indispensabile, viene venduto a parte e lo reputo un po’ caro, quindi me lo sono fatto da me in cuoio. Oggetto consigliatissimo.

Joseph LeDux: The purpose of the Soviet Spetznaz original shovel was to be used both as a tool for digging and cutting as well as a weapon for combat. In addition to digging, the tool can be used to cut trees and branches, split firewood, and even for passible if somewhat clumsy fine cutting or slicing.

As a weapon, it's interesting to note that in the novel All Quiet on the Western Front, the author (a combat veteran of WW1) stated that of all the various knives, clubs, and assorted swords and spears improvised by soldiers, when it came to choosing a weapon for close combat in the trenches, the German standard-issue "spade" was considered the best and most effective of them all and was universally preferred. That German spade was a short shovel with sharpened edges, a tool/weapon functionally identical to this Spetznaz shovel.

I keep one in the trunk of my car. I've successfully used it to dig my car out of a mudhole. I've also used it to cut and collect firewood, shave kindling, and to both cut and drive tent stakes. The number of uses you can put this remarkable tool to is broad and nearly unlimited. And, of course, if you need to defend yourself it's an effective tool for that...

Alessandro: Veramente ottimo prodotto, una pala robusta che puoi maltrattare senza timore

Le dimensioni contenute sono un vantaggio per essere facilmente trasportabile, sempre a portata di mano

Io la uso per sradicare i rovi,
Puó essere usata a mo' di roncola per tranciare vegetazione, arrivare alla base delle piante e scavare arrivando alla radice
