SOG Entrenching Tool / Folding Spade
A folding shovel can be an indispensable tool in today's constantly changing environment. We know one thing, when you need to move sand, dirt or snow you wish you had that shovel close at hand. Our all steel construction entrenching tool uses a tempered steel blade with teeth cut into it for cutting and slashing. The triangular handle is strong and fits the hand well. Folded, it takes up about the same space as a stack of paper plates. Which would you rather have?

Very disappointing piece of kit - feels flimsy, the screw to tighten after unfolding works loose very quickly. Can't believe they offer a "lifetime guarantee" on this - mine was bent beyond use by a 14yr old digging carefully under supervision in light top soil. The serrated edge for cutting roots is purely cosmetic. I work in woodlands, and teach bushcraft - this is ideal for a novelty gift, but useless as a professional tool.
Really nice tool. Regarding the other comment, I think you should contact Greenman as my copy is fine, so are my friends. Maybe a rougue one?
Or the warrenty.
