I’ve used regular spades for decades,, but I’ve been seeing a few of these as of late. I tried using a cutting wheel on a normal spade to try and make it.. but it made the blade weak,,, and it had way to much flex to it. Anyone know who carries one. I’ve tried MTP and F&T and they don’t have any. Cumberland supply was spose to have them but the online catalog said they didn’t have such a thing.

It's one for making pocket sets, a standard three inch wide one that is squared off instead of pointed, preferably with a long handle aka a mink trappers type trowel.

The other one I got at Menards and is almost indestructible. Got the tip from Gerald Schmitts " Mega Mink Methods " years back. Walt legge
