I have a Kershaw knife that is made in PRC. It is deadly sharp. **Q: Will this protect me against bears?** A: Probably not cause you would have to get way to close for comfort to use it. **Q: what are the approx dimensions of the head.** A: Approx. head dimensiions = 6.5" by 7.5" **Q: Can it collapse, or is there a sheathe?** A: It does not collapse or fold like an entrenching tool. It is one solid piece. It has a very sturdy sheath that holds it very well. The sheath holds this tool very firmly so, while it will not fall out or move around, do not expect a quick draw if you are thinking of this as a defensive device. It is a great all around tool that takes and holds an edge extremely well. Maybe too well. I keep mine almost razor sharp and I have to be VERY careful not to touch any of the sharpened edges. A simple touch results in an open gash. The M48 does not have to be this sharp though. It is just my preference to make and keep it that way. ## Frequently Bought Together - M48 Kommando Tactical Shovel Entrenchment Tool – Black Oxide Coating, Sharpened Edges for Cutting, Tough Glass-Fiber-Reinforced Nylon Handle – The Ultimate Tactical Shovel - 16 1/4" Overall - M48 Survival Kit --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.bo/products/1217902-m48-kommando-tactical-shovel-entrenchment-tool-black-oxide-coating-sharpened](https://www.desertcart.bo/products/1217902-m48-kommando-tactical-shovel-entrenchment-tool-black-oxide-coating-sharpened) --- *Product available on Desertcart Bolivia* *Store origin: BO* *Last updated: 2026-10-16*
