Durable steel blade with anti-corrosion coating

The blade made of steel is highly resistant to mechanical damage, which allows the shovel to be used safely on hard ground. The black protective coating protects the surface from corrosion, extending the life of the tool and making it easier to clean after working in difficult conditions.

Ergonomic nylon handle

The handle is made of nylon, which combines lightness with high mechanical strength. The textured surface provides a secure grip, even with wet hands. Thanks to its ergonomic shape, the shovel fits well in the hand and allows long work without feeling tired.

Foldable design and compact size

The folding design system allows you to quickly fold the tool and reduce its length from the full 58.5 cm to only 24.5 cm. In this form, the shovel takes up a minimal amount of space, so it can be stowed in a backpack, car glove compartment or side pocket of your gear. When folded, it fits into the included carrying case, making it easy to transport and store.

Locking system and pickaxe function

The US Army model is equipped with a blade locking mechanism that allows it to be set in a semi-open position. This allows the shovel to function as a pickaxe or hoe, greatly increasing its versatility. It can be used for digging, breaking up hard ground, smashing rocks, and other terrain obstacles, making it ideal for survival and tactical situations.

Set elements

The set includes a carrying cover made of durable fabric, which protects the tool from dirt and makes it easy to carry. The cover is equipped with a belt clip for quick access to the shovel.
