Being genuine military issue, it will be a solid bit of kit that's well suited to its intended purpose. I have the earlier version, the Fiskars Gerber NATO folding spade, which is extremely strong. I've heard of them being used as an improvised paddle, which complements the boat anchor idea.
Ive just got one of these, its solid and folds away small, great video, lots of good ideas for using it i hadnt thought of 👍 got it from preppers shop uk £29.95
The tip about using it for cooking is for ones that don't have as pronounced a curvature on the blade, not all E tools are created equal, don't just parrot what all 900 other E tool videos say. This is doubly true given that some have plastic innards that will melt if you expose the shaft to direct flames. I'd also caution against using it as a seat recklessly given that it has sharp edges. If you slip off the wrong way and slice your femoral artery out in the wilderness you will be dead.
It's always important to use any tools with caution. One accident with a knife and you'll bleed out in the wilderness. Everyone is responsible for their own actions.
I am not entirely sure but I would think it would be if it has an edge on it. But you can have fixed blade knives on you if you have a genuine and demonstrable reason, such as you have it in your backpack because you are going camping etc.
@@SilentButDescriptiveIt has a British broad arrow but U.S. belt clips and a U.S. NATO country code of 00. Normally British ones have the tunnels where the belt clips are put through, but no actual belt clips included. This is a very curious example.
Heard it’s grade 8 hardware. Automotive is grade 3 aircraft is grade 5. Think about how many pissed off soldiers who hate digging tried to break these. Bombproof. I’ve never seen a broken one in my life
