Received them now, but need to get some kind of holster. They are not heavy at all, I thought the steel one would be a burden to carry, but it's surprisingly light. Unfortunately the steel shovel needs some sharpening though, and I got my tools at a different place. Will have to wait until summer to test them.
The Cold Steel version comes pre-sharpened, but the wood of the original one is birch which is more durable than the tropical wood used in the replica.
