Carrying a shovel just for one task may be too much of a burden for some. This shovel from Cold Steel, however, isn’t just for digging dirt or plowing earth. The Russian Special Forces or Spetznaz (equivalent to the US Green Berets) have developed a type of shovel that’s also a hatchet and a multi-purpose blade, similar to this one. Heat-treated medium carbon steel is forged into a shovel head and socket. The edges are sharpened afterwards, giving the shovel another purpose. This may be used as an axe or a general-purpose blade. It can also be used as a throwing weapon too, when bears or brain-eating zombies decide to mess up your camping trip. $28.
