Interesting, but I always preferred the knife. I usually toss the crovel to a teammate at the beginning of the game, then make enough to buy a nailgun at the end of the wave.

I've tried it out several times, just wasn't my thing. I can kill everything but scrakes and FP's with the knife as well, so I didn't see the purpose in using crovel.

I am also a knife user because that speed is brilliant, and all you need for the low-health early wave stuff. I keep both early on though, because of flavour. The crovel has a bit more range, has a knockdown/more protective version of bash, feels a bit like an axe and has a blunt alternate attack which is very satisfying to use when it knocks an enemy across the room into a wall!

Best use for it for me is that knockdown bash, the ability to parry a bunch more stuff and (like the knife) horizontal swings at head level for a bunch of kills per swing!

just my 2 cent but for a bloat if you light slash his head he will be beheaded in 1 shot (in any difficulty if your 25)

Yes, any perk's knife with a single light slash is enough to take a bloat's pukey head off. You just have to time it well, too soon and you miss/get puked on, too late and you get puked on.
