Description

Authentic, genuine U.S. Military Tri-Fold E-Tool (Entrenching Tool) complete with its original ALICE Olive Drab (OD) Green Carrier. This isn't a cheap modern replica—this is rugged, heavy-duty, field-tested military surplus manufactured during the Cold War era right here in the USA. The handle frame is clearly stamped "AMES 81", proving it was manufactured by the legendary Ames Shovel Company in 1981. The reverse arm features the classic "U.S." stamp. The matching Easton Canvas Products carrier features the original quick-release ALICE buckle and standard belt attachment points. 3-Position Locking Blade: Loosen the heavy-duty threaded locking collar to transition seamlessly from fully folded, to a 90-degree pick/hoe for breaking hard roots and dirt, to a fully extended traditional shovel. Serrated Edge: Features built-in serrated/crenellated teeth on one side of the carbon steel blade to cut through thick brush, roots, or frozen ground. Compact & Portable: Folds down to just over 9 inches, making it the perfect compact tool for your overland rig, bug-out bag, camping gear, DIY Skate spots, or trunk emergency kit. Approximate Dimensions & Weight: Total Weight (Tool + Carrier): ~2 lbs 14 oz (Heavy-duty, built-to-last military specs) Folded Size: ~9.25" x 6.0" x 2.25" Fully Extended Length: ~23.5" Blade Dimensions: ~8.5" x 6.0" Excellent Vintage Military Surplus Condition. This tool shows light-to-moderate field wear with honest paint scuffs and minor surface scratches on the blade from minimal use. There is no structural damage, rust, or warping. The locking mechanism, hinges, and rivets are 100% solid and operate smoothly. The OD green carrier is fully intact, free of tears or dry-rot, and the front slide-lock buckle snaps shut perfectly. Perfect for militaria collectors, survivalists, bushcraft enthusiasts, off-roaders, and campers who demand gear that won't fail. #USGIEtool #AmesShovel #MilitaryFoldingShovel #VintageEntrenchingTool #Ames81 #ColdWarMilitaria #ALICEGear #TacticalSurvivalShovel #CampingGear #BugOutBagEssentials #TrenchingShovel #MilitarySurplus #GenuineUSGI #1981Military #BushcraftGear #OverlandingTool #EmergencyCarKit #PrepperGear #ArmySurplus Shovel
