{"product_id":"rothco-folding-shovel","title":"Rothco Folding Shovel","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Rothco Folding Shovel is a compact, steel-and-wood entrenching tool built for camping, hiking, emergency preparedness, and general outdoor use. The shovel body is steel and the handle is wood, finished in olive drab. Open dimensions are 23 7\/8 in. x 5 3\/4 in.; folded dimensions are 16 1\/8 in. x 5 3\/4 in., and the shovel weighs 1.55 lb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFolds Flat for Pack or Vehicle Storage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rothco Folding Shovel hinges closed to 16 1\/8 in. x 5 3\/4 in., a footprint compact enough to slide into a bug-out bag side pocket, a rucksack, or a vehicle emergency kit without consuming meaningful space. When a task calls for it, the shovel opens and locks to its full 23 7\/8 in. working length in seconds, with no tools required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSteel Blade, Wood Handle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shovel body is steel, chosen for resistance to bending and edge wear during digging, prying, and clearing tasks. The wood handle provides a grip that stays workable in wet or cold conditions where synthetic handles can become slippery. Together the two materials keep the assembled weight at 1.55 lb, light enough to carry all day without adding meaningful load to a pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSized for Real Digging Work\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 23 7\/8 in. open, the Rothco Folding Shovel is long enough to generate useful leverage for digging fire pits, cat holes, drainage channels, or vehicle-recovery trenches. The 5 3\/4 in. blade width moves a practical volume of soil or debris per stroke, reducing the number of passes needed to complete a task.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel shovel body:\u003c\/strong\u003e resists bending and edge wear under hard use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWood handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e provides secure grip in wet or cold conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFolding construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e closes to 16 1\/8 in. x 5 3\/4 in. for compact storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpen working length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23 7\/8 in. x 5 3\/4 in. for effective leverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOlive drab finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e low-visibility field color\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.55 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRothco\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRTC-50\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShovel body material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSteel\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHandle material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWood\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOlive Drab\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOpen dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e23 7\/8 in. x 5 3\/4 in.\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eClosed dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e16 1\/8 in. x 5 3\/4 in.\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.55 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCountry of origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eChina\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWARNING: This product can expose you to lead, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
