That is a fearsome looking implement! I might have to go and invest in one myself!

I know the serrated edge on my little gerber shovel got me through some nasty ground so that should do it. I'm sure you'll know soon enough

Curious to hear how it does out in the field.....

One review was from a MD'er, gave it a thumbs up...as far as size and ability to kill.....

I use it for metal detecting its the perfect size. I can use it to chop and hack it also makes a good self defense weapon it need be.

 

[WHADIFIND]

That looks like it would slice through anything.

Steel, iron, wires, roots, coins,rings, yep, everything.

Nice job.

The movie was Blazing Saddles

 

[Argentium]

Pretty sure the movie quote was from The Treasure of the Sierra Madre with Humphrey Bogart - That shovel looks like it would come in handy
in a zombie apocalypse (the Walking Dead ?) I'd probably cut my hand off with that thing !
