about the only thing it did not do was dig a hole to deuce it up in.

I can just see the late, great, Billy Mayes hocking that "wonder shovel"!

Reminds me of what I've read about the Soviet spade. The Spetsnaz (Russian special forces) used them too, apparently.

The spetsnaz soldier loves his spade. He has more faith in its reliability and accuracy than he has in his Kalashnikov automatic.

And check out this quote on Spetsnaz training.

A soldier armed with nothing but the spade is shut in a room without windows along with a mad dog, which makes for an interesting contest.

I don't know if that ever actually happened, but who knows?

So after you you pitch camp cut firewood and cook dinner with it I guess all you really need is a latrine .

I'm surprised they didn't cook pizza on it or go fishing with it.They did everything else

[Guest mosinon]

Why did I ever buy that super shredder? All I really needed was a chinese shovel. Side note: If a war with China ever comes down to hash browns we are through.

[Guest Chandler]

I liked the "Climb" function... Where you just "Dig Function" until you can put your feet in the holes... Pretty clever though.

My dad bought one like this at a local army store. It's rock solid and it folds!

I picked up a SOG trenching tool the other day. Now this thing is cool.

$18.00?!?!

[Smith]

It sure tore of some sand! I'd like to see them dig some of this rocky TN soil!

[Kenstaroni]

It was actually $15 at Smoky Mountain Knife Works. I don't need it for anything extreme, so if it holds up for light use I'll be happy. I figured for the price I'd give it a shot. It feels pretty sturdy....I wouldn't go dig a ditch with it or anything though...lol

[First Strike]

Our GI issued e-tools work just as well, and our SF guys can fight with them just as well as Spetznaz.

[Guest SUNTZU]

I'm surprised that guy still has his fingers after the way he used the sharp end without a glove or anything. Do you dig the latrine and then slice potatoes or the other way around?

Isn't that kinda the point of a "trench tool"?

[Fadex]

My grandfather brought something really similar back from WWII. On another note....did they use the background music from "Stripes"?
