I was browsing looking for power tools and one site had comment descritions on a spetsnaz shovel. I saw you stated that this model was your EDC tac shuv and it could save your life. I was wondering how it does this, specific tactical advantages, and a good holster for a tac shuv?

Gecko, anything? I wish to know how such a simple tool will save me, and a good carry technique?

frank-l I do not no where you are from but spetnaz are the enemy. Maybe you are to young to remember when spetnaz commandoes were training everyday to kill Americans. Maybe you are a communist. It doesn't matter. If you can't find a real American shove there are perfectly good shovels available at your local hardware store that are made in China where we get most of our stuff today. Buying a Chinese shovel is much better than supporting the communist spetnaz.

You should also consider the Glock entrenching tool. It has the same tenifer coating as Glock pistols and so you know it can withstand the explosive force of a gun going off.

Gecko, it was only based on the spetsnaz desighn. I believe it is U.S. amde. All i remember is you saying this EDC TACSHUV can save your life and is in invaluble tool. I want one with rails.

IIRC, Cold steel used to make an assault shovel for the Champions of the Free world. For use against those Cold war (&^)(*( Spetsnaz wussies. I understand it was a requirement for those forces of evil, that their mothers had to wear red underwear.

Damn Communists.

Again the Cold Steel shovel was to protect Truth, Justice and the American way of life. You know all that stuff Superman doesn't or can't say anymore.

Now, shut up and start digging.

Go figure.
