A little while ago,
I waxed lyrical about my preferred implement of destruction - the
Smith and Jackson Fibrelite Round Mouth shovel:
As I mentioned, as it's fitted with a polymer shaft and handle, it’s lighter and more vibration resistant. Also, unlike wood, a quick wipe with isopropyl alcohol will clean away all traces of blood and other bodily fluids.
Recently though, whilst doing a little internet shopping, I found this:
It's a
Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel and the website describes it thus:
The Special Forces Shovel is modeled after the original Soviet Spetznaz shovel. The Spetznaz soldiers made up the most elite unit in the Soviet Army. The U.S. equivalent would be our Green Berets. The shovel head and socket are forged from medium carbon steel, then heat treated for maximum strength. The edges come sharpened to a utility/axe edge that can easily be improved to razor sharpness.
All this for a mere £21.85.
