  1. For even more utility, consider switching out that paracord for Titan Survivorcord. The interior cords have some additional types of lines for more versatility.

    As far as shovel goes … I’ve never had a folding or telescoping unit that didn’t eventually fail (even with my human neglect of not cleaning tool after use – stupid of me). What has NOT failed is a Cold Steel fixed Spetznat – that tool is bulletproof and has earned permanent spots in our vehicles. I have a lot of faith in it.

    Thank you for the above review.

  2. A >quality folding shovel is handy to have while camping. … Clearing a campfire area of combustibles is a shoveling-raking action. … The folding shovels are convenient to take along. … +For people stuck in the mud, a bit of patience and shoveling can often help solve the problem. [A shovel is needed, when answering the Call of Nature, in the Great American Outdoors.]

    +Even in these peaceful times now days; = sometimes a fire in a pit (Dakota fire hole) is more pleasant and safer in the woods, than an above ground fire. A folding shovel can be very handy.

  3. I don’t like the serrated edge on the side of the shovel, that feature is dangerous. You or someone else will be injured by it. Being able to chop with the side of the shovel is somewhat more acceptable provided the edge is not sharp in the sense of a knife but just a mild bevel that would make chopping more effective.

  4. I have a folding shovel and as Pat described it’s junk, but was a gift. I use it to move ashes from a fire pit when camping is all and carry a regular shovel in the rig. I recall my dad had some surplus ones in the early 70s that were decent with a wooden handle; the folders are finger pinchers.

  5. Love my Glock shovel. Austrian engineering and quality. I would not trust a Chinese piece of questionable metallurgy and design with my life. YMMV
