December 17th I was at a condo in Vermont with friends. We decided to have a fire but lacked kindling. After a slow start I decided to march out to my car and get my Cold Steel shovel to see how it might split wood. With the caveat that the wood was reasonably well seasoned, I was impressed by how well the shovel split wood.

I know the shovels have been discussed by me and others here before so I thought I'd share a positive use experience.
