Well, Silk Touch can appear on Picks, Shovels, and Axes right?(Correct me if I'm wrong)Well, what's the point of it on Axes and Shovels? Axes break wood, which you would get normally. And shovels break sand/dirt/gravel which you get normally for a shovel too. So what's the point...?
Shovel: Grass/Mycellium.
Axe: Bookshelf.
There =P
But it's FAR more useful on a pickaxe. Since you get books from bookselves it's not worth it to have a Silk Touch Axe.
It is completely useless on both shovel and axe. You can't pick any block with a silk touch axe/shovel, just the ones you can take with a normal axe/shovel, not stone/ores, and you can pick ANY block with a silk touch enchanted pickaxe (except for a few, like ice, spawners, etc...) but there's none you can get with a shovel/axe that you can't get with a pick. Also, it doesn't takes 2 durability, this only happens when you break a block with a sword.

Pointed out to me in other posts, silk touch is useful for cobweb, mycelium, redstone block, and other things you want to toy around with in survival mode that would be normally unattainable. (remove other player's heads G_G)

"They (swords) also remove some blocks faster than using bare hands (such as leaves, wool, and Soul Sand, though especially Cobwebs), but each broken block counts as two uses on the sword's Durability Bar when it is used in this way"

Doesn't works on cobwebs.
Omg, I just confirmed that it doesn't work on spider webs. x.x

It's a pick axe that collects dirt faster then a shovel.

All I'm saying is, pick axe is the most preferable thing to put it on.
the whole concept of silk touch is retarded.
but apparently i need a "magic" pickaxe to pick up a chunk of grass...?

I use it for stone, but i have 2 picks with unbreaking 3, efficiency 4 and silk touch on them, so it's not gonna end any time soon...
I'm just a stupid noob that would like to place a spider spawner somewhere.
