[BellyUpFish]

Anyone here own one of these?

I’d like to get some measurements off one if I could.

 

[DocJD]

I can't image what the possible repercussions were
going to be like for any Spetz infiltrators getting caught
Red handed with these by (I would imagine),
highly bemused NATO troops

This is the Russian machete

They’re actually famous for throwing shovels.

Finally , it all makes sense . Lynn Thompson is deep undercover Spetsnaz !

 

[Makael]

They’re actually famous for throwing shovels.

And based on the Balistic knife it's clear that they love to give their edged weapons to the enemy

There is no jungle in Russia. Why a machete?For cutting branches using a shovel.
There's one in my truck. As a precaution.

I wonder how that machete holds up with that blade attachment to the handle.
Would be interesting to have a long term test/review.

As for shovels, I got a titanium shovel from Moscow.
Quite like it and often use it.
Low weight and packs well on/in a ruck.

 

[DocJD]

To conduct operations in foreign nations that do have jungles .

It's not special forces. It's Commerce.

Yes, the Russian Spetznas machete is better designed for cutting wood or use as a shovel.

Places where the plants are mainly woods often have these shorter thicker chopper type machetes. Places with more jungle and grassy type plants often use the thinner types of machetes.

I'm not sure I'd really call this thing a machete.

[QUOTE = "BladeScout, post: 18253198, member: 271808"] интересно, как этот мачете держится с этим прикреплением лезвия к ручке.
Было бы интересно иметь долгосрочный тест / обзор.

Что касается лопат, то я получил из Москвы титановую лопату.
Довольно нравится и часто его использовать.
Низкий вес и пакеты хорошо on / in a ruck.

The shovel must be heavy to cut branches and heads. Where did you see the titanium axe? Only steel.

Unlike the Spetsnaz combat spatula, the thing I truly missed out on was all the great deals on titanium kit after the fall of the Soviet Union. Man, there was some good stuff for cheap--that shovel is awesome.

The soviets considered it one though.

There are wide short parangs too and those are a sort of machete.
