Swedish Army Snow shovel

[Twodogs]

One of the must haves is a shovel

I do like a bit of Military surplus So the Swedish Army snow shovel works for me .





Very clever removable shaft that could be improvised if needed .





Here the makers mark ,



I will give the shaft a light sanding and a bit of oil and a bit of file work on the cutting edge and its ready to go

Here where I got mine ,

Nice piece, I picked up a Norwegian one made by Witco a.s from Endicotts when I brought my boots on Sunday, very similar in looks to yours and very light. If I ever go back to Norway that is definitely coming with me.

While Kevin was with another customer I saw this sitting forlornly in a box and decided to adopt it.
