German Army Folding Shovel Olive – Incl. EVA Pouch

Bundeswehr Field Shovel – The versatile folding shovel for every use

The classic BW field shovel of the German Bundeswehr, often referred to as a tri-fold shovel or simply a folding shovel, is an absolutely indispensable and multifunctional tool for camping, outdoor adventures, survival, and demanding use. Its intelligent design makes it particularly flexible to transport: Since the three main components – shovel blade, handle, and grip – can be folded to save extreme space, the shovel can be effortlessly stored in the precisely fitting folding shovel bag after work is done.

But this field shovel is far more than just a simple shovel. Thanks to a robust rotary screw on the joint, the shovel blade can be quickly and securely fixed at a 90° angle, allowing the tool to be used as a fully functional hoe in no time. To cope with coarse root systems or stubborn branches in the ground, there is a sharp, one-sided serrated edge on the side of the shovel blade. A firmly integrated footrest on the top of the blade also ensures optimal power transmission and protects footwear when digging in hard soil.
