Dig through rocks and roots until you hit water. A wood saw is on one side of the shovel blade. A beveled edge is on the other. In the middle is you holding onto the ergonomically designed handle of the Trencher tactical spade, daring anything on the forward operating base to get in your way.
The Trencher entrenching tool is the perfect blend of ergonomics, aerodynamics, and good old-fashioned grit and determination. A unique three position heavy-duty shovel head features an aggressive and sharp wood saw on one side and a beveled edge for cutting roots and chopping wood on the other side.. Now when you dig that hole and encounter a tree you can say, "What else you got?" A reinforced steel tip on the shovel head makes rocks see the same fate as you pick them out of the way.
Grab hold of the handle. It feels like it was practically made for your hand no matter what the use for your Trencher. But if you look at it a little closer you'll find there's also a wire cutter built right into the textured grip that runs the full length of the handle. This beast of a survival shovel isn't going anywhere when it encounters the elements.
When something goes wrong on a mission, cut, saw, pick, and dig your way out of it with the Trencher.

Combined Razor-Sharp & Veff Serrated Cutting Edge OutBurst Assisted Opening
The patented* OutBurst assist mechanism accelerates the blade open on OutBurst-equipped CRKT models after you have opened the blade approximately 30 degrees. Just nudge the thumb stud straight upward lightly, in the direction of the knife centerline, releasing it as you would shoot a marble. Dont press down on the blade or try to follow the blade open. Once the blade reaches the 30 degree zone, it should spring open and lock. It make may take a little practice to get the action down. In general, larger CRKT knives are easier to open because they have more blade weight. If your knife blade action is sluggish and stalls on OutBurst opening, periodically use a small drop of a lubricant such as Tuf-Glide or Break-Free® CLP®, or a light machine oil, at the pivot points and at the tip of the OutBurst spring where it meets the blade cam. Keep the blade pivot area clean and lubricated. Tuf-Cloth is an effective blade cleaner and protectant. OutBurst assisted opening is legal in most jurisdictions, but check your local regulations to be sure. Your knife can be quickly converted to a conventional opener by removing the OutBurst spring whenever desired, as shown in the photo at lower left. OutBurst spring removal. The OutBurst spring can be removed on most models without disassembly (shown here for clarity). Simply loosen the set screw with a No. 6 Torx tool and slide the spring out the butt of the knife, then retighten the set screw. When replacing the spring, you will notice a flat grind which should be aligned above the set screw. On other models, the OutBurst spring is pressed in place, and can be removed or replaced by dissassembling the knife. A set of Torx tools is needed.
