I bought this for my husband who does a huge amount of digging in our large garden. It was bought to replace a 1964 military issue shovel which had been mended over and over again but he didn't want to part with it. So this shovel had a lot to live up to! Anyway, he is absolutely delighted with it - the quality, the weight and performance. Should last a long time.

Interestingly the cant on the head is not as steep as another brand I had (which snapped the shaft) and also the shaft is unfinished (the other was varnished) which I like as you can apply whichever finish you normally use. This is mark ii as the original one of these u bought sprouted legs and vanished. I like this shovel and it helps with what I do so will end up buying another to keep 'in stock' For the money? 10/10

Been looking for one of these surplus spades for long time, both my dad and grandad use them. Great shape for digging and shovelling soil. Great to find new old stock, may get a spare!
