Not sure why anyone would want to break their back with that shovel but to each their own. :thumbsup:

That commie shovel will be good for burying the many unwanted female babies that they murder and all the dogs and cats they torture. :angry4:

The shovel looks like a modified Special Forces Shovel by Cold Steel copied after the Russian Spetz Special Forces Shovel version with more gadgets attached to it. I have one that I got about 8 years ago it then it sold for $49.00. I know they are cheaper now than they were when I bought one. The shovel is tough and can take a beating. One of the edges of the shovel is beveled so you can sharpen the 2 edges on the shovel to razor sharp

Cold Steel makes them WATCH the video in the link.

Now the one that is in the O.P. video

I guess the Chinese took the Russian Special Forces shovel and did some modifications to it and came up with the WJQ-308 is what you see in the O.P.'s video.

Here is a link for trade key. The shovel is a Chinese Military WJQ-308 Shovel

Chances are if you want one, you probably have to become a distributor as one here in the U.S. isn't here yet.

My son is lives in Japan, I may have to send him some money and have him go to China and get me a couple of them.

That is one unique shovel :icon_thumleft: I guess using that would stop you from hurting your back, that's like the Swiss Army Knife of shovels. As a matter of fact, that shovel works great on chopping, dicing, and slicing way better than my Veg-O-Matic :laughing9: I wish they had those when I went camping, it would cut down a carrying a large load on your back too

maybe if I enlist in the Chinese army I will get one too :tongue3:

Just checked out the version made by Cold Steel. For 35 bucks including the sheath I might just have to have one although I probably won't be throwing it much like they show on their video...

Think I'll stick with my trusty 1944 issue US Army shovel, not that I even care to use it anymore.
Like Iron patch said: they are a back breaker.
