Product Description
Modeled after an original Soviet “Spetsnaz” entrenching tool, this Special Forces Shovel from Cold Steel is suitable for utility or self defense. Made with a stout hardwood handle and a carbon steel head, it’s built to take abuse in the field Read More
This goes with me on every car-camping trip. It's obviously heavy for backpacking, but it's great for camping sites you can drive up to. The sharpened edges make digging a poop hole a breeze... As well as giving you the ability to fight off a bear while you're doing your business.

Sturdy, sharp ... and, this one, sheathed
Unlike some other reviewers' experiences, my shovel
arrived sharp and sheathed. It's not particularly lightweight (if you need lightweight, get a backpacking trowel or a titanium spork), but no heavier than a tri-fold entrenching tool, and can double as a poorly designed hatchet in a pinch. The sheath is ... well, functional. Quite satisfied.
What can I say, it's a sharp shovel. There was quite a burr on the edge that I had to sharpen off myself. I would have expected a perfect edge form a brand new product. As others pointed out, the item was shipped in an empty box without a sheath, so that might have been what caused the blemished edge. With that being said, I don't know how well it will keeps it's edge once I really start digging with it.
I can't get through to customer support about the missing sheath. Drop needs an email address to send to. The shovel itself is great. I have one for each vehicle, and have purchased one for each of my children and their significant others - just not through Drop.
