The top one I hacked up the weld bad. The tube is stainless and the blade is 4140 and I could not get a very good looking stick weld but it is indestructible. I have tried to bend these by burying the blades into firm soil and trying to pop out a plug with all my weight and the ground always loses.

Fletch88 - I have a thread open right now on how disappointed I am with my new Treasure Wise 3n1. Yours looks great! Mine came to me in the mail looking like an 8 year old butchered one side with a grindstone. It's so lopsided it doesn't even come to a point.

Really? You bought it new? The 2 I've purchased were perfect. I was impressed with the quality for the comparatively low prices. I would send it back ASAP. Good luck

I use a long, flat blade screw driver, a hori hori gardening tool, a rock pick/mattock combo, and a military entrenching shovel/pick depending on what type of terrain I'm working in. Naturally, a scoop for the beach.......Stealth 720 is my favorite there.

I have a gator tool and a lesche. Use them both. Beach hunting, I use a sand scoop. Water hunting, the 790i is what I use.

I just bought my first Teasure Wise tool today. I love it! I think that, my small buck knife and my mini camp shovel are my favorites....but while using the Treasure wise this afternoon, I didn't reach for anything else!

My Sampson is my favorite tool, period. However, if I am heading to a public park I use my Kellyco Razor Edge digger, which I got for nothing and it works great.

Sharpen that kellyco digger and it will work better. I did a side by side of the kellyco and lesche both i sharpened and sharpened. The lesche i sharpened did better than the sharpened gator digger.
