I found this photo of the Ukraine riots.
One of the protestors is attacking the police with an old special forces
shovel, the one that inspired the one made by Cold Steel which is an exact
copy, made of better steel.
I have one of these original Russian
shovels, its a neat collectable piece. The one made by Cold Steel is very well
made, solid little shovel for doing some limited digging, but also as a
hatchet/hammer/pike axe and general smashing and prying tool!

I love those CS shovels. I've kept one in the back of my pickup cab for multiple use. Carjacker defense, hatchet substitute. Absolutely the best for shoveling sandbags by yourself, the small shape is perfect for the bag opening. Fast and quick.
I'm just about to Dremel the saw tooth modification for one of the edges, I've heard good things about that one. Also screwed on a heavy steel washer onto handle end for more impact resistance on handle end.
For the price, can't be beat. Thanks Fernando.
These are great shovels. I have two of them.
So where did those peaceful flower holding Ukrainian hippies pick up Kevlar helmets and heavy body armor?
