Badass Blades That’ll Make You Wish For a Knife Fight

badass knives and blades for guys shovel cold steelCold Steel Special Forces Shovel ($27 @ Amazon.com)

Best used for: Digging ditches, slaying zombies

A mere shovel will dig latrines, fire pits, and get your car out of the snow or mud. Yawn. The Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel will do all of that and lop off a zombie’s head if it attacks you between scoops.

This uncanny replica of the Soviet Spetsnaz shovel — the multi-purpose digging/killing tool of the Russian equivalent to the Green Berets — is less than 20 inches long, weighs about 27 ounces, and works just as well as a hatchet, cleaver, machete, hammer, or paddle as it does as a shovel. The head and socket are forged from medium carbon steel and heat treated for max durability. And the edges can be sharpened to easily penetrate the soil, wood, or the flesh of a Sasquatch.
