Cold steel shovel may be able to do that too, but have you seen something a bit smaller and stronger ??

How about the Woodsmans Pal? A short "machete" with a brush hook and a shovel end. A great general purpose tool, but I would NEVER use it for cooking on except in the most extreme. It would loose temper and not be useful again for all the more important purposes (like keeping the fire going).
