Description

FKMD Folding Spade – Military Field Shovel with pouch

The FKMD Folding Spade is a patented innovation designed to combine maximum strength, compactness, and versatility in a single professional-grade tool. Made from FRN® reinforced with aluminum and fiberglass, it delivers exceptional durability while remaining lightweight and portable. Ideal for military, rescue, and expedition use, this folding shovel adapts to multiple roles – digging, cutting, scraping, or clearing – with the reliability and precision required in demanding field operations.

Its folding handle system minimizes bulk for easy storage and transport, while the blade’s three working angles (90°, 135°, and 180°) provide flexible operation in tight or uneven environments. Whether used for trenching, shelter construction, or equipment maintenance, the FKMD Folding Spade performs with efficiency and control. A 1000D Nylon® sheath with MOLLE system allows convenient mounting on belts, packs, or tactical rigs for immediate accessibility.
