Compact folding military entrenching tool consisting of a metal spade head attached to a wooden handle. The blade is spade-shaped with one pointed edge and a folding joint that allows the tool to collapse for transport. Painted in dark military green, it features a locking collar mechanism for securing the shovel in open or closed positions.
The tool was used by soldiers for digging trenches, latrines, or foxholes and could also serve for defensive purposes in close combat situations.
