I bought a spade here about 3 or 4 years ago (have not had to sharpen it once yet), it serves a lot of my landscaping and vineyard tasks, I keep it in my vehicle for easy access but also have it on me for protection. With all the firearms I have, it’s important to not forget about the non gun weapons. I am buying another one to keep in the house. This thing is so solid and rustic, highly recommend and strongly suggest!!
