BW Tri-folding e-tool, with carrier, surplus

Folding shovels are an old thing, but at some point somebody got the idea to add one more joint to it. The result is a tri-folding entrenching tool, which occupies a remarkably small space.

We know what you're thinking: will I get a good one? Yes you will: these are used with scratches and worn paint all over. It means they are the real thing made in Germany, not cheap reproduction trash.

It's good to own a few of these actually: One in your car, a couple for gardening and six to give to your grandma as a present.

Carrying pouch

The included pouch varies. The latest batch we got (May '18) was supplied with a BW e-tool carrier with a Flecktarn camo pattern.

In case of green or khaki plastic, the pouch material is flexible and strong polymer, immensely tenacious against wear and tear. On the back you'll find two "ALICE attaching things", in other words US keepers. With these you can attach the pouch to belts up to 55 mm wide. The khaki one is not original BW issue and made by Mil-Tec, but seems to be quality-wise about on par with the original.

German army surplus

Used but in serviceable condition, at most you'll need to squirt some oil in the locking threads. As said, the plastic case is new manufacture.
