Was talked about a couple of years ago.

Seems to be a tad pricey.

You can buy Chinese knock-offs of these by now

I wonder how many of them they went through making that video, but they appear based on an older shovel, not that ridiculous tri fold D handle thing that is pretty useless.

I heard you could now by American knock offs...At a fraction off the price

Hmmmm I do like that, but if you lose it what could you use to prep your food with after digging a toilet trench?

Clever piece of kit in a lot of ways though. I like that it has the wire cutting and hammer/nail pulling functions. Good if you're in the army, otherwise carry some fencing pliers and you're set.

And i thought it was the British who were supposed to be the inovators. A genuinely genious tool, shame there seems to be an issue with getting hold of an authentic version at a reasonable price.

Has anyone on here actualy got one ?, if so how about a review ?.

The digging, tree chopping/splitting function alone is worth it.

Yes, a review would be good.

For that you could get the cold steel shovel, thats what i've got, chops splits & throws well.

I suppose that chamfered edge just needs ground on a steel spade.
