Folding Shovel

Folding shovel

It's about survival

The Epic Armoury Folding Shovel is a 60cm foam shovel, handcrafted to mimic an entrenching tool used by both military personnel and survivalists. Entrenching shovels like this particular model have been used since World War II and were considered a necessary part of a soldier's gear. They were even considered auxiliary weapons, sharpened, and used in close quarters during the Battle of Stalingrad.

Constructed from EVA foam around a solid 8mm fiberglass shaft, this folding paddle is finished with a durable latex coating to prevent breakage and give it a smooth, realistic surface. The 39cm handle is hand-carved and painted to resemble real wood grain, while the 31cm long head has a beautiful military green metallic finish with distressed edges.

The shovel head doesn't actually fold, but it includes fine details to give the impression that it can! It's also reinforced to prevent the shovel head from breaking, despite heavy use. Use this improvised axe against raiders, zombies, and radioactive rodents, while maintaining an air of practicality thanks to its multifunctional nature.
