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. Comes with an e-tool carrier.

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 variance

You'll get one of three models.

In case of green or khaki plastic, the pouch material is a flexible and strong polymer, immensely tenacious against wear and tear. On its back, you'll find two US keepers, "ALICE clips". With these, you can attach the pouch to belts up to 55 mm wide or anything else you can imagine. The khaki one is not original BW issue and made by Mil-Tec, but seems to be - unusually - about on par with the original when it comes to quality.

The pouch might also be a BW e-tool carrier with a Flecktarn camo pattern. Attaching these to anything but the original belt requires zip-ties or paracord.

German army surplus

Used but in serviceable condition, at most you'll need to squirt some oil in the locking threads.
