The Cold Steel CS92SFX Spetsnaz Special Forces Shovel delivers tactical versatility in a purpose-built entrenching tool. This military-grade implement combines digging capability with defensive utility, featuring a medium carbon steel blade and traditional American ash handle construction.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard entrenching tools, the CS92SFX features a full-sized 30-inch design that provides superior leverage and striking capability. The medium carbon steel construction offers enhanced edge retention compared to mild steel alternatives, while the traditional ash wood handle absorbs impact better than synthetic materials. Cold Steel's heat treatment process creates a blade hardness of approximately 50-55 HRC for optimal durability.
Key Features
- Medium carbon steel blade with black finish for corrosion resistance
- American ash wood handle provides natural shock absorption
- 30-inch overall length delivers maximum digging leverage
- Spetsnaz-inspired design based on Russian special forces specifications
- Sharpened edge suitable for cutting roots and vegetation
- Traditional construction methods ensure field-repairable components
- Balanced weight distribution for extended use comfort
Field performance demonstrates the CS92SFX's capability across multiple scenarios including camping, survival situations, and emergency preparedness. The carbon steel blade cuts through packed earth and clay soil more effectively than aluminum alternatives. Weather resistance comes from the black oxide coating that prevents rust formation during extended outdoor exposure.
