MIL-TEC BLACK TRIFOLD SHOVEL W/NYLON HILT & COVER

The Mil-Tec Black Trifold Shovel with Nylon Hilt & Cover is a compact, field-ready entrenching tool built on the classic military trifold pattern. It folds down to roughly the size of a paperback for stash-anywhere portability, then locks out into a full-length digging tool when it's time to work. For shopkeepers, this is one of those workhorse SKUs that sells year-round to campers, hunters, off-roaders, preppers, and tactical buyers alike — a low-cost, high-utility item that practically jumps off the peg.

Built for Hard Field Use

The pointed blade is stamped from 2 mm carbon steel with a matte black finish to resist rust and glare. One edge is sharpened for chopping through roots, ice, and packed earth, while the opposite edge is serrated to saw small branches and brush. The blade locks straight for shoveling or pivots to a 90° angle to function as a pick or hoe — ideal for trenching, drainage work, and digging cat-holes or fire pits on uneven ground.

Secure Nylon Hilt & Trifold Lock

The reinforced nylon hilt features a triangular D-grip that gives leverage for hard digging while staying comfortable in gloved hands. A knurled threaded collar tightens down on the trifold joint, holding the blade firmly at the chosen angle without rattle or slip. The triple-fold action collapses the head and handle back into a compact stack that drops neatly into the included pouch.

Included Carry Cover

A black 100% polyester cover with a hook-and-loop flap and webbing carry handle keeps the folded shovel contained and protects packs and trunks from the sharpened edge. It's a clean fit for vehicle kits, bug-out bags, range bags, and bushcraft loadouts.
