Full Description

This Czech Field Shovel is a solid fixed-blade trenching tool built for heavy outdoor work.

Cold War Military Design

Based on the classic Czechoslovak People's Army (ČSLA) CS 412 pattern, this entrenching spade was engineered for reliability in tough terrain. The stamped steel blade features an olive drab finish and official CS 412 markings, reflecting its Cold War military origin.

Heavy Steel Spade Blade

The blade measures 7 inches wide by 8 inches long with a 1.8mm thick steel plate that resists bending. It includes a curved top shoulder for applying foot pressure in hard dirt, plus a bevelled side edge that doubles as a field axe for clearing roots.

Solid Hardwood Handle

At 24 inches in overall length, the spade uses a durable wooden shaft attached with a riveted cross-mounting collar. The end features a rounded bulb knob that prevents slipping during extended digging, making it ideal for bushcraft and camp setup.

Equip your camp or vehicle kit with this dependable Cold War style field spade today.
