Also known as the Swedish E-Tool, KLAS or Faltspade.

In used ('grade 1') fully functional condition – signs of use as you'd expect from a shovel but not abused. Shovels may have been repainted in the field and some may require paint.
For shifting snow you need a larger blade and the optional snow blade provides just that.
The snow blades are in good condition with minor scratching on the surface. The pressed aluminium blade is strong and rigid and fits securely to the main blade using two bolts.
Both the snow blade and shovel are stamped with the Swedish Military three crowns.
