Cold Steels Spetsnaz Shovel is modeled after an original Soviet Spetsnaz military entrenching tool. This durable and effective shovel has a stout hardwood handle, a broad flat steel blade and 3 sharp edges. A popular tool with military and special operations units worldwide, used to dig foxholes and bunkers, to chop branches, build shelters, act as an improvised paddle and even as a last-resort weapon of defense. Our Spetsnaz Shovel is popular with the throwing community, as its head-heavy balance and multiple sharp edges make it an excellent alternative to a Tomahawk for sport and recreational throwing. Includes Special Forces sheath.
