COLD STEEL SPECIAL FORCES SHOVEL

www.coldsteel.com/special-for...
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, weve heard tell of it being 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 also immensely 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!
SHEATH SOLD SEPARATELY!

These shovels seem like a good necessity item to have stored in a truck box. Great story Lynn shared about the design and origin of his shovel. Another great throw at the end, Stickman. Thanks Cold Steel.

[@tanosanti]

Thanks a lot Cold Steel I'm a proud owner of many CS products. Regards from Germany

[@lukehorning3404]

Lynn is also 70+ and is the man that gave us cold steel and has been crazy since his beginning and love the guy for what makes and wish could meet almost a president in my because I love everything he has ever made

[@redfaux74]

100% agreed. When he sold the company.... it hit me like a dear loved one dying. 😫 I've been a fan at least 30 years. I have at least 150 of their products. At least 60 or so are blade types. I've never once been even 1% disappointed. My oldest knife is my Vaquero Grande 6 inch serrated folder. I carry it EDC in my right pocket. It is my best friend. ❤

[@kurtbaier6122]

I bought one years ago. Luv it. I’ve used it to dig latrines, pit shelters, coyote wells, hammer stakes, cut, split, make shavings, scrape, manage camp fires, and move pots. With the Cordura sheath it’s a great self defense tool. I did shorten my handle to make the shovel’s length at about 17 inches. Easier to chop and pack along. Pre drilled two holes in my hiking staff to turn the shovel into a long handled shovel.

[@jasonprairie9968]

I love both of your shovel models, my first Cold Steel was the Special Forces Shovel back in 1996. And it's still going strong. Cold steel tools are the toughest I have. 👍👍

Малая сапёрная лопата советского образца - толково сделанный инструмент, можно использовать как оружие, мультиинструмент и для зрелищных цирковых представлений, да.

[@FriedPi-mc5yt]

I got one of these years ago. Decades in fact. I’ve bought others and gave them as gifts to friends. I’ve used mine to cut firewood, drive tent stakes, dig fire pits, put coals on Dutch oven lids to cook camp biscuits, dig tires out of cars that sank into wet ground and a bunch of other tasks. This shovel is one hell of a tool for the money. I had to replace the handle of mine about 15 years ago. But the shovel is still going strong. I gave my youngest son one to use when he goes camping. He hasn’t ever left it at home. It’s the one thing he says he would never leave behind when he goes out to the woods.

Grizzly Outdoors is offering a kydex sheath for $85.

[@fatcoyote2]

This thing kicks ass. Hell, you could build an entire company just on this one product; I've never met anyone who used this thing who didn't think it worked well.

[@asmith7876]

I have 4 of them, gave one as a gift, one in the truck, one in my camping gear, one in the gardening supplies. LOVE these things. I'd never ever ever considered bringing a shovel on a camping trip but once I did I found a 1000 uses for it. And they're dirt cheap.

[@user-is9nr7nq1t]

Я б не назвав їх дешевими, але якість від Cold Steel краща від оригіналу! Це зручний шанцевий інструмент, який хочуть продати як зброю😂 Лопата була у кожного піхотинця радянської армії, бо ніхто не знав де, коли та скільки йому прийдеться копати.

[@crazyone5409]

One of my favorite all-time tools. I don’t have this particular one and the one I had finally broke after years of chopping, clearing out brush and digging. I would love to get my hands on this one because I know it will never fail and the reason is because it’s made by Cold Steel. Keep up the awesome work Stick and Lynn.

[@michaelgillett5744]

Best shovel ever.

[@dwaynewallace306]

[@semadragun]

Never wanted a shovel so much till now...sold!

[@kynaston1474]

I won't ever be without one. I mod the handle a little bit and I've done so much work with these over the years. I'd choose it over a lot of tools. Actually I was digging a trench a few weeks ago and this thing saved the day. I just couldn't make any headway it seemed with even the pick in certain places. This shovel was able to get in there and cut through the frozen ground pretty well. Really got the job done. Dinged the edge all to pieces but nothing that a few minutes with a needle file couldn't fix.

[@Gator-357]

I have an original Russian Army issue shovel. It's a bit smaller than the Spetsnaz shovel but performs just as well. I have all four edges sharpened and the handle sanded and coated in wax. Does just fine and I only paid $20 for it

[@jerryrichardson2799]

I have a couple of these I bought cheap. They're neat, but I've never used mine, alas. For a lot of purposes, a shovel like this is much more useful than an axe and weighs less. _Cold Steel_ makes _some_ interesting stuff at a tolerable price.

[@brandonbowerstx]

I have multiple shovels and the long Spetznaz shovel variant. Absolutely great tools and weapons. Be careful because these will absolutely flay your arm open if you don't respect them.

Man, my friends and I grew up watching Cold Steel vids with Lynn showcasing EVERYTHING. The coolest guy ever. Now so many years later watching this vid that showed up on my feed just brings back so many memories…. Happy memories but also a reminder of how time goes by. Lynn is still doing his thing and still so passionate. Where did the time go!

I have a special forces shovel in each of my cars. They can hack through ice, dig snow, and I’ve chopped branches with it. One time I held it while the wrong guy came way too close to me in the hood. I explained to him “You can take a man’s head off with this…if you know what you’re doing.” He got the message.

[@kennethscottwagner5981]

Really like both of my models. So many uses,throws and sticks well.

[@buckfiden9913]

At first I was undecided about buying one of these shovels. The fact that it chops wood, can be used as a weapon, or scrape the paint off and use it as a skillet, is not really that impressive. But then I see Big Hoss throw it like a tomahawk and hit that bag of flour hanging in the air... SOLD! I immediately bought three of 'em.

I've used the CSSFS for over 20 years. It may be the single most practical and useful cutting implement to carry, especially if you're limiting overall carry weight on an outing. I also have their Trench Shovel, which has a slightly longer handle. That's great as a vehicle -carried tool.

God damn. Cutting tatami with a shovel is cursed but you know what? It don't get more American than that baby. I dig it. Pun NOT intended btw

[@romant1127]

They cut and all, but nobody uses them to actually chop wood. Their rounded shape makes the blade bounce off. Sharpened edge is for cutting down bushes and roots when you're digging. Original red army model didn't even specify what kind of steel that should be used for the blade. That's why their blades bent easily. Commercial iterations, that aren't made in China for pennies, use hardened spring steel nowadays and are quite sturdy even without increased thickness (and weight).

[@jackg.2780]
