The 1065 steel plate is quenched to ~HRC 60, then tempered down to HRC 49–53 to balance hardness with excellent impact toughness. Total length: 44 cm \/ 17 in | Weight: 695 g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🐶 \u003cstrong\u003ePremium Hand‑Carbonized Cyclobalanopsis Handle | Dual Wilderness Protection\u003c\/strong\u003e Cyclobalanopsis wood naturally contains tannins for built‑in insect and rot resistance. We add hand‑done surface carbonization for a full, consistent protective layer. A wood used reliably across East Asia for over 1,000 years, it features high density (0.74–0.82 g\/cm³), impressive hardness (~1,400–1,600 Janka lbf) and strong impact resistance. Pairs perfectly with the shovel’s balanced weight distribution to cut down hand fatigue on long outings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🐶 \u003cstrong\u003eDual-Edge Design for Multi-Use Field Work\u003c\/strong\u003e Two coarsely ground beveled side edges: built to strike hard surfaces, or chip thick ice as an improvised winter ice breaker. The thick blade blank can be sharpened or customized to match your unique needs. Two finely ground cutting edges: ready for chopping, limbing branches and rough wood processing right out of the sheath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🐶 \u003cstrong\u003e2024 Updated MOLLE-Compatible Sheath Included\u003c\/strong\u003e Comes with a heavy-duty ballistic nylon sheath built with a 3-layer construction: ballistic nylon outer, foam cushion, and rigid inner PE protective shell.

Pure Field Toughness.\u003c\/strong\u003e A simple, robust field shovel with zero unnecessary frills or add-on gadgets. Essential gear for camping, bushcraft and backpacking — you’ll keep discovering new practical uses once you hit the trail. Satisfaction guaranteed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🐶 \u003cstrong\u003eSteel Quality Note\u003c\/strong\u003e The ring of sound when tapping steel offers limited insight into its quality. Harder, denser steel tends to produce a crisper, louder, clearer ring when struck. This comes from a uniform internal grain structure and fewer impurities, enabling cleaner sound transmission. Judge the steel for yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kookido Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53053514907930,"sku":"MG-A3-Fat Boy","price":36.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/0411\/0618\/files\/A3-FatBoy.png?v=1791559836","url":"https:\/\/mastiffgears.ca\/products\/mastiff-gears-fat-boy-heavy-duty-bushcraft-camping-shovel-1065-carbon-steel-hrc49-53-large-dual-edge-blade-hand-carbonized-cyclobalanopsis-handle-multi-use-survival-shovel-with-3-layer-molle-compatible-sheath","provider":"MASTIFF GEARS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
