All, Bushman5 and I are on to something. We need to design a Spetsnaz style ESEE Combat shovel. All drawings and Ideas can be posted here. Lets get this done!
What Se7en and I are thinking is: - 3/16" ONE PIECE , Rowen stamped / heat treated steel, FULL TANG, micarta slabs (with pommel) , 2 edges (digging point) SHARP, one edge serrated , one edge deadly sharp, folded over steel foot points on the TOP of the shovel.
FULL TANG / MICARTA SLABBED ESEE Spetznaz combat/utility shovel. JEFF? EXPAT? MIKE? WENDY? REUBEN? FLEX? WE WANT THIS
Exactly Bushy!!! These are some Authentic shovels..neat design, but we can make it better. The specs bushy talked about would make our ESEE COMBAT SHOVEL the best chopper in the lineup, yet you could dig, make feathersticks and hammer pegs into the ground with it. What about a bow drill divot in the handle???
The front two edges on the digging/cutting portion of the shovel need to be able to be sharpened with a file...The sides need to be (1) like a normal straight edge and (2) esee serrations the whole way up. This thing is going to be deadly...The ESEE skull and knife logo could be on the back of the shovel, 4" in diameter
I like that idea! This tool would revolutionize the market. A market where cold steel offers a cheap knock off shovel. The cold steel spetsnaz shovel is a decent tool...that being said....If ESEE made one. It would be unreal.
NAILED IT!!! Thats awesome. I will have a preliminary drawing posted here tomorrow after B5 and I have a good look at it....Stay tuned!!!
2 Canadian's are about to turn the survival/combat/tomahawk/gear world upside down.......and we are hoping that Trans Equatorial Solutions / ESEE / ExPat / ROWEN and the military/survival/outdoors/hiking crowd take notice. More info and a design hitting the ground 01/05/2018. Stay Tuned.
Now this... This I could get into. A large plate style kydex sheath for numerous mounting options would be epic. Mount it up to the front of a pack, handle down... Ooooh yeah! I'm looking forward to seeing this one.
