This shovel is probably the most versatile tool I have in my collection. I always make sure I have it when i go camping. It also makes what I think is the best CQC hand weapon in the woods. It has a perfect weight for a CQC weapon of that size, you can jab, hack, smack, pull, and deflect with it.

Cold Steel hit a home run with this little beast! I'm really happy with mine. Thanks for the review.
@pbhead8 жыл бұрын
I have had one of these for 25 years. When I got mine, they only sharpened the left side to knife/hatchet sharpness, and the front was utility sharpened like you would expect from a shovel. I keep the left edge of mine just sharp enough to shave arm hair with a wide convex edge. It has been used as a makeshift camp hatchet for over two decades, and is one of my favorite camp tools.
