Shorter than Cold Steel Shovel AND Same Weight...almost.

[@Grenzkraft]

*QUICK INFO* The manufacturer of this folding shovel was "Romulus". It was manufactured in the GDR, but it is a very early model, so the stamp says "Germany" only. Stamps on later models say "Made in GDR". This model is also full metal (except the wooden handle). I've seen models where the big locking screw was made out of plastic. I think you want to avoid that. It might does the job and reduces the weight even more, but the chance of failure is higher with plastic than with metal. Cheers!
