I know that I need one.
Don't know how, where or why I'll use it but I MUST have one.

Except for the wire cutting part of it, this thing seems quite similar to the ww2 era GI shovel my Dad always carried on vacation.

I have carried a surplus US e-tool in my trunk for years and its OK for a small shovel but the locking mechanism sucks and the steel edge gets damaged easily.

This Chinese whatchamacallit is supposed to be made out of super rustless (or was that that an IOF official's claim?) un-flimsy, zombie destroying, Chinese mystery steel that is tougher than nails and keeps its edge no matter what.

Read the review here on this item.
OK, its hard to take the review seriously when it's posted on someplace called "Zombiehunters.org" but it looks like a decent test of the tool and it's written well enough to give you a chuckle or two.
Still, I have no doubt that it would definitely solve any coconut issues that Mark will ever have in the future :).

There was a pretty sweet shovel that they featured on Doomsday Preppers some time ago. The guy who invented it was featured on the show and lost a part of his thumb due to a gun malfunction...

Here is the youtube link

OK, fair enough! I'll confess, it does look like the real deal.

I have an Ace Hardware version of it (sold as an off roading tool) in my Jeep and SUV.. Haven't put it to this kinda tough use but looks similar to this.

Nice Xl, I had seen the E Trenching tool on TV in the Ultimate Warrior-Green Beret Vs Spetnaz episode lollzzz. The E Trenching Tool pitted against the Russian Pilum knife. This thing's fancy, SAK meets E Trenching tool... Thanks for sharing the links, I loved the Zombie Test of chopping the coconut.. BBBRRAAINNNNSSSSS lollzzz.

Does it come with a warranty or is it a buy once - no fix - no refund deal? :P
