COLD STEEL
SPECIAL FORCES SHOVEL

The Special Forces Shovel is modeled after the original Soviet Spetsnaz shovel. The Spetsnaz were the Soviet army's most elite unit, and were renowned for their deadly efficiency.

Because they were trained to travel light, they packed only the bare essentials. One of their favorite tools was their unique shovel which featured a broad flat blade and three sharp edges for maximum versatility.

Our Special Forces Shovel follows the Soviet design as faithfully as possible with improvements in the steel (twice as thick) and heat treatment. This is a super value on a precision-made tool that is also a battle-proven, improvised weapon
