Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel

I was glad Walmart sells these. It's one of those things I've wanted since I was a kid and what with one thing or another I never had one until now. Definitely a bit of an impulse buy. Seems solid, though. Heavier than I'd expected for its size and the handle is larger than I thought as well. This bodes well for its durability. The edge can be sharpened, it comes with a basic but not sharp edge from the factory. Worth it.

I got ahold of an original in the military & loved it & these are exactly like the originals. Just got this & have used it & put it thru a bunch of tests just to check it out & These shovels are great. At $15.15 a piece I already orded more for spares & to give to my son in law. As a shovel their great & as a axe, machette or as a throwing shovel these are as the originals these are great. Get a couple you'll love them

Just as I expected from Cold Steel...... Awesome! Heavy duty and yet light weight. All edges come roughfully sharpened (needs a little touch up on the edges) and it's ready for digging, chopping, slashing, batoning or throwing. It can be used for an axe, machete or bushcrafting. Very well made and sturdy. Handle is a little slippery so add some tape or paracord. And, it can be used without the wooden handle too. Remember to oil the exposed metal to keep from rusting. Perfect tool for the outdoors!

Glad I finally got one. A great addition to my outdoor gear. Combined with my Bushman and Trail Hawk, this shovel completes all the bushcraft tools I need.

Bought this after the extremely hard packed ground I was digging in broke an Army surplus shovel in three places. Pounded this in and got the job done no problem. Comes with a fairly sharp edge that goes up around the sides of the blade that I sharpened further to allow use as a machete, and it works well. HIGHLY recommend you get the sheath for this. Even the factory edge WILL cut you.

Perfect size for what I was wanting. Only thing I didn't like was that it didn't come with the cover like in the photos but I should have read better. Cold steel is an awesome brand.

for the price seems like a sturdy little shovel

I didn't get the case for the shovel, but it's a sick shovel

The shovel is fine No problem, the 2 stars are for Wal-mart as there is NO sheath included, as Indicated in the pictures and it doesn't say it's not included in the description...I order 2 of these - Thanks

Picture shows shovel with a sheath. It did not come with one. Only reason I bought from Walmart and not amazon
