When i receive it i was a bit concerned about size . I thought it's a bit too small . But when i put it together i was pleased from the size and the quality. Damn ... It's like weapon )))) hard steel with soft grip , used it for hiking. Absolutely brilliant, one of the most important thing it doesn't weight a lot , and doesn't take much of a space. love it multi-purpose functionality. Only thing sharp edge wasn't sharp enough for me . But i did it myself with sharping stone, now it's sharp like knife ))) i suppose it's going to be my favourite thing while hiking) ohh... And nice pouche , easy attachable to your belt

Overall this is great, i've smashed the living hell out of it and it's still in one piece with no damage to it, however, the design isn't as good as it could be, when you dig with it the handle comes loose, if the thread between the shovel head and lower arm was left handed it would solve this issue as you could tighten them together a lot harder. Because the top nut is right handed and the handle the same after a few knocks the handle will come loose, im going to put some of that plumber (PTFE?) tape around the thread and see if that helps. Overall great value and very sturdy, the shovel wont bend if you are digging normal materials, mud, sand etc, not sure it would hold up to sloppy clay but this isn't a trenching shovel anyways, i've bought it for my bug out bag.

Very compact and digs well.

Brilliant little shovel for doing your business when out wild camping, better than some silly plastic trowel.

This truly is fantastic for the price. It was sturdy enough to easily dig a small long drop toilet and a fire pit in relatively dry, heavy clay soil. When i hit a root from a tree the saw blade edge on the spade made light work of them and in the tougher ground the pic side worked perfectly. The only design flaw i could see was the small point on the end of the handle which led to a blister on the palm of my hand after prolonged use. The ax blade side of the spade while not really substantial enough to fell trees was sharp and durable enough to trim down branches into shafts and to cut points on the end of them to create stakes for camp building such as a fire baffle. On top of this it is small and compact and easy to assemble or pack away. I would highly recommend this to anyone as there first camping spade.

fantastic when out camping, being able to adjust the head on the spade came in very hand and good strong sturdy build

Well made, ideal for small gardens and raised beds if you don't want the bother if a full size spade

Bought this recently for a camping trip ( was cheaper at about £15). Good strong compact little shovel, takes up no space when dismantled in its pouch. Multifunctional compared to other small shovels I looked at. Used to dig a hole for a Barry White, worked well even in hard ground. The bottle opener is pretty useless though. Could prob split small logs with it with the right technique as has a semi-sharpened edge on one side. Handy storage handle but would prob need a small container to go in it to stop stuff falling out the other end.
