Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

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.

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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The handle would not hold for too long when digging soil


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It was oily and kind of grimmy


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

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