During World War I, the entrenching spade was also pressed into service as a melee weapon.

Interesting. Never thought about it, but makes sense.

My Grandfather spoke of using an E-tool once they gained the opposite trench line.

He used an effing spade to chop off an ISIS jihadists head.

Good enough in my book.

That’s barbaric! No way to treat a good spade.

Hope he did not damage the spade, the blood will wash right off.

The British Government will probably bring him up on charges.

In my experience,
knives
can solve
four out of five
everyday problems.
A shovel solves
the remaining
one.
