Gi Spec 3-fold Shovel

The 5ive Star Gear GI Spec 3-Fold Shovel is a combat-proven entrenching tool modeled directly on the original U.S. Military specification design trusted by infantry, combat engineers, and field personnel for decades. Built for portability without compromising functionality, this tri-fold shovel is an essential addition to any tactical loadout, emergency kit, or vehicle emergency supplies. Whether deployed in austere environments or maintained for home preparedness, the GI Spec 3-Fold Shovel delivers the durability and compactness demanded by professional operators and serious civilians alike.

The shovel's tri-fold design achieves a remarkable collapse ratio, reducing to a collapsed length of 9.5 inches when stowed yet extending to an extended length of 23 inches when deployed. A hardened steel blade with an integrated ax edge provides dual functionality—dig, chop, and cut without carrying separate tools. The three-panel folding mechanism uses robust hinged construction that locks securely in both open and closed positions, preventing accidental collapse during use and ensuring reliable field performance across demanding terrain.

At 2.66 lbs, the tool remains light enough for sustained carry yet substantial enough to handle serious digging, trenching, and emergency egress tasks. Military personnel, first responders, and outdoor professionals benefit most from this compact yet powerful design—particularly in situations where vehicle storage space is limited or pack weight is critical. The GI Spec 3-Fold Shovel is an indispensable tool for anyone needing a reliable and versatile entrenching tool.
