I love this thing, it's a new staple for any bug-out-bag recommendation I make to my friends. It's easily slung from a belt, simple to fit your own custom length handles for specific tasks, and works great as an all around tool when camping.
I took a dowel rod that was the same diameter as the head mount and cut it down to shape. Made a great full-sized shovel; also made a great pole-arm. I've seen a few video reviews where people have used different shaped branches to turn it into a hoe as well.
For the short grip, I wrapped the handle in sports tape (like baseball bats and hockey sticks use) and just because any survival tool needs some para-cord attached to it, I wrapped the metal neck of the head. Many people drill a hole through the end and attach a lanyard to it. Finally, I've seen people drill holes on the blade up near the outer sides of the foot bend, then tie a rope (or your para-cord wrap) through each side and use it as a lifting rope to make digging less back breaking.
Definitely get the Sheath, this things to sharp not to keep it covered.
Makes a great gift idea, all of your friends would be better off keeping one of these in the trunk of their car, just in case.
