Product Specifications

The Bell-038-ST Ultra-Compact Folding Shovel is built for backpackers, ultralight gear enthusiasts, and anyone designing a survival kit where every gram counts. It delivers real digging capability in a size and weight that barely registers in a pack.
Note that you’re not compromising strength for portability here; just unnecessary bulk.
Why This Shovel Stands Out in the Field
A3# high-carbon steel head, 2.5mm thick: Despite its weight, the blade isn’t delicate. The black oxidation coating protects against corrosion while reducing glare. It digs through rocky soil, roots, and packed ground without flexing or folding.
Versatile 3-position design:
Full shovel mode (40.7cm) for digging, fire pit prep, sanitation trenches, and snow management
Compact operational mode (39.5×9.5×24.6cm) for controlled scraping or tight-space work
Pocket fold (16×9.5×6.5cm), small enough for jacket storage, EDC kits, or glove compartment placement
Only 356g total weight: It’s nearly 40% lighter than most folding tactical shovels, which makes it ideal for hikers, bikepackers, search-and-rescue personnel, and anyone counting grams on their gear list.
Military-grade 420D Oxford carry bag: The folding shovel is durable, water-resistant, and ready for rough handling. The MOLLE/PALS webbing lets users mount it on backpacks, belts, tactical vests, or vehicle rigs without occupying internal space.
Smart for Retail and Bulk Supply
MOQ 100 units: A low-threshold order structure that suits outdoor outfitters, camping retailers, bulk suppliers, and adventure shops
Complete packaged kit: Every shovel comes with its premium storage pouch (valued at $7), making it shelf-ready without accessories or add-ons
Bulk pricing built for preparedness markets: 25% off at 500+ units: Ideal for survival subscription boxes or seasonal retail demand
Reliable 30-day production window: Stock predictably for peak backpacking season, prepper events, government contracts, or outdoor retail rollouts
Custom finish options available: Anodized color variations allow branding, product-line segmentation, or specialty edition releases
The Bell-038-ST gives you a shovel that’s stronger than it looks and lighter than you expect. Built for harsh environments, tight packing, and real-world use, not just novelty. If portability matters as much as capability, this is the shovel you pack every time.
