All kinds of bayonet shovels are flat and completely vertical, only on the top of the bayonet there are curved edges in one direction – for the foot stop during digging. Shovels are usually made of steel, stainless steel and titanium. The latter are the best in quality, have light weight and dirt to the surface almost does not stick, but they are not cheap.

The handle of the shovel is often made of wood. A Y-shaped handle can be added at the end so that better efforts can be made to dig up solid soil.
