This genuine military issue tri-fold shovel was robustly designed for and issued to the Bundeswehr (BUND) translated as the German Armed Forces, built to exact NATO specifications. Made from steel entirely, giving them a solid, durable construction that will last for years to come.
Known as a tri-fold shovel, it can be folded into three sections which can be freely positioned for different applications, or folded into its own rubberized compact carrying case. It can be locked straight out at 180 degrees to be used as a shovel or locked at 90 degrees and used as a pick. To lock the blade, simply unfold the shovel to the desired angle and twist the rotating cylinder located on the handle. This will lock both the blade and the handle in place. Additionally, equipped with 2 serrated edges for sawing-like motions and slicing.
