Looking for shovel, certain specs

[cdsmith46]

I am looking for a digging shovel, would like 12 inch blade, fairly wide, with a 3 foot handle. Lesche gets close, but still looking. Any suggestions?

I picked up a Sampson last week. Very short and lightweight, and it cuts nice clean plugs. A little smaller than the specs you are after though.

The Lesche "Ground Shark" I am most familiar with is nice, in my opinion, but the blade has a bit too "tight" of a curve for my liking. You might look at the Lesche 38D "King of Spades". It is still referred to in some places as a "ground shark," but not the typical "ground shark" I'm used to seeing. The 38D is very similar from what I can tell to the Predator Model 80 Relic Pro -- seen here: http://predatortools.com/item_details.asp?ID=31

Hope this helps,

Steve

I have two of there shovels now the Mauler and the Raven, I just got the Raven in last week, love it longer handle and root cutter on both sides. Make a nice round plug, no more bending over all the time when digging.

Predator makes a great relic shovel like bayrat said.
