Title: Digging Tools Post by: Jonola (Jon) on March 13, 2009, 04:33:48 PM Anyone use one of these or anything like it? Looks more like a survival knife than a digging tool.

I've never seen anyone using one over here. Me? I'm a Draper mini shovel man! :)

Title: Re: Digging Tools Post by: Jonola (Jon) on March 13, 2009, 05:05:12 PM I'll call a spade a spade ;) but this tool thingamajig looks easier to carry about. And you work with me Kev so you know I don't like anything strenuous!

I was tempted to take my old army jungle knife but I'd probably get six years! Dickle said they use em in America but they probably shoot the crud off their finds with a colt .45! It looks effective for the job though.
