CS-92SFS: Special Forces Spetsnaz Shovel/ 19.68" / 2Mm Thick Blade

Best short shovel I have ever owned. I have several now. I made several lengths of handle for them. I have even purchased these for several other people. This is a pack shovel so very short as it comes from the factory. It has survived some very vigorous use. I have also found about a million uses around the.hiuse for it. They seem to last about forever. Oh it also can be used to dig holes or whatever....great for throwing.

I've wanted one of these for decades, and when I saw that it now comes with a nice sheath, I had to get one. It comes fairly sharp, but remember that if it had a razor edge the edge would chip when using using it for its primary purpose-digging. To me, the chopping capability is for emergency use. If you are going camping, bring a proper chopping tool like a hatchet or machete/kukri etc. If you are planting a garden at your home, get a real shovel. This is an entrenching tool, bring the right tool for the job. I got it for the truck in case I get stuck, and for this kind of use it's great. I have no need of something that folds up like an E-tool for this purpose so I like the solid construction; no rivets, joints, or threaded sleeves to fail or loosen. I can clear snow or dirt, and use the edge to chop branches to place under the tires for traction. I have many Cold Steel products since the early 90's (when they were a super expensive knife brand using Seki steel from Japan) and they are very good even though a lot of their products are just stamped steel now. The handle on this is the same as on their "Bad Axe" and is very strong. And yes, it could make a pretty effective weapon in a pinch. Would recommend.

Awsome shovel! Heavy duty tool for digging, comes with a sharpen edge. Made well for me and despite it being a bit heavy I wouldn’t use it for log splitting because it’s not meant for that type of application.

Very well made. Sheath if nothing special but the shovel is awesome…came sharp too lol

It’s a nice shovel. I’ve used entrenching tools for years for digging around water services in a ditch when a big shovel won’t fit. I prefer this shovel to the newer folding US tools. I do strip the varnish by scraping it with a knife then sanding. I then and put several coats of a linseed finish on the handle. Easier on the hands. I have one in each car too. It’s handy. Used it to chip away snow when my dad drove up on a snow bank and got stuck. It sharpens easy. I do put some oil on the exposed metal to stop rust. Some people throw them like an axe but I am a klutz in that department. I’m sure it’s a heck of a weapon but I would not know. Only thing I’ve ever put in the ground with this shovel is some geraniums and a nice basil plant.

Exactly what it's supposed to be, a tough, compact shovel/hatchet. Sheath fits correctly. Worth the cost, great for emergency shovel in cars or trucks.

I was shocked by the outstanding quality! Ten stars and hats off.

Digs alright

This product is amazing built super tough very solid decided to purchase after I saw my friend using his worthwhile purchase

Amazing, light weight, durable

it's not foldable like some other small shovels so there's no potential failure points, it's build to last. I can't imagine if it can ever be broken but if you manage to break handle - handle is replaceable or any piece of wood similar thickness can be used as temporary handle in emergency. It's probably best small shovel for hard use.

The best throwing shovel you can buy

Very well made and a great price. Super sturdy.
