If there ever was a shovel that can be defined as badass and dangerous, it has to be the Special Forces Shovel -- it does way more than just dig.
The Special Forces Shovel is modeled after the Soviet Spetznaz shovel, which means it was designed to hurt and kill. The head is made from medium carbon steel, which was heat-treated to add maximum strength. The edges have been sharpened to be as lethal as an axe. Basically, this shovel is bad-to-the-bone and would be a great ally against the undead when a gun isn’t readily available. Don’t believe how dangerous this is? Watch the video and see just how insanely badass gardening can be. I’m sure Rick and friends from The Walking Dead wish they had this from the beginning.
