Military Shovel & Pick Axe

While nothing sets this standard military shovel/axe apart from common versions found at military surplus stores around the globe, Snow Peak offered this shovel with a unique case that matched their crampon bags of the same era.

Snow Peak would continue to offer folding shovels like this of various sizes and shapes through the mid 1990s before removing nearly all white-label products from their line.

Multi-Use

In order to be stored aware more easily, the spade of this military style shovel not only collapses down to reduce the length, but also operates on a pivot, allowing the pickaxe head to be at a 90 degree angle for rockier surfaces.

Woven Label

Snow Peak's logo is woven into the face of this bag, allowing them to easily modify it based on generational changes to their branding (See 1963 Crampon bag for comparison).
