Because someone sent me a new Cold Steel Spetsnatz SHOVEL. :what:
Holy CRAP is this thing cruel looking! I have no doubt I can split wood or throw it handily into the onrushing face of an enemy of Mother Russia. But wow... dig a FOXHOLE with this thing? Those Russian soldiers are tougher than anyone gives them credit.
Compared to my WW2/Korea era folding shovel (pick and spade) this thing is a garden trowel, but as a weapon yowza. I'm shocked Midway shipped it without a sheath or in any 'special' packaging. I can imagine a hasty UPS man losing a few fingers and toes if he dropped the package the wrong way.
The enamel paint looks well baked on and the edge does have some burrs, but its SHARP. I will NOT hold my fingers anywhere near THIS one while splitting kindling.
I'm guessing if Gimli carried digging impliments instead of an axe this is the kind of no-nonsense brutal orc splattering back up spade he'd stuff in his belt.
