Many years ago I used an American army trifold entrenching tool. I understand that the Bundeswehr used an identical shovel - but its folding handle was steel rather than U.S. Army's aluminum. Where can I buy the Bundeswehr version, I assume, as surplus?

have you tried ebay?

This is a German entrenching tool:

That's my kind of E-tool!

DUK You know that the classic German entrenching tool is a teller mine.

Naphtali, is there any reason you would want the older heavier BRD type tri-fold shovel over a US GI type aluminum alloy one?
