Pros & Cons
Pros
Not much wobble in the blade at all. Virtually unchanged since the 1800s. Sit around a campfire and toast the motherland. The * itself feels like a formidable weapon.
Cons
This shovel just bends too easily when digging. I have bent the shovel in the middle prying rocks up out of the ground with the short handle. Cool looking, highly dysfunctional but from old mother russia so a timepiece.
This shovel is horrible. Buyer beware. Cheap small screws holding it tight, but thin metal band it is attached to to big for handle. Also, the handle right out of the box wiggles badly.
Highlights
Quality
I like the build quality of this shovel
Very sturdy shovel great thickness warmth colder than ice handle is a light wood bu5 easy to replace
Just ugly tough as hell russian steel and wood
Shovel head collar is curled around handle and overlapped with 1 rivet holding the 2 ends of the curled collar together

Its not perfect but for the price its pretty good
Shipping
Received the item quickly and it was as advertised
Competitiveness
I like it better than the old gi folding entrenching tool i carried in the army
It is heavier and slightly longer than a 1982 spade i have from a different seller

Handle is a little loose as others had mentioned but nothing that shouldnt be expected from 35 year old surplus

The handle would not hold for too long when digging soil

I put an edge on half of it too but only personal preference

Was easy to sharpen the sides so it could be a machete as well as a shovel
