Quote HistoryQuoted: makes for a damn fine cooking surface as well.  Cooking on a shovel probably ruins the temper. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: i no longer have access to a lathe but i've always wanted to turn down a cold steel bat into an indestructible handle for the spetznaz shovel.  @JLPettimoreIII tell me more about this idea, I might just give it a shot. Which Brooklyn bat has the right handle length/diameter to be modified to use with the SF shovel? How do you remove/replace the handle on the shovel? |

How do you remove/replace the handle on the shovel? i did find a local plastics place that sells some HD plastic rod of a similar material. would make a nice handle as well if one had access to a lathe. for attachments my plan was to: a) insert plastic shovel handle after fitting 2) drill through existing holes into plastic handle 3) drill through other side of shovel socket as well 4) install stainless steel bolt/flat washer x2/spring washer/nut |

The shovel + one of their bats is only like $50-60 total, and if I can find a place that will modify the bat to work as a handle for less than $100 I’m gonna fo |

So is the cold steel better than a $30 shirt handled army surplus knockoff? Saw some last weekend at a local AS store.

Received my shovel, it’s awesome. I cut a cardboard box with it that it got delivered in.
Got the sheath too. Now it lives under the seat in my truck. Will order another for my work truck |
