Saws And Shovels
Sharp and compact saws and shovels for any survival situation.
Tactical Shovels That Do More Than Dig
Let’s be real—no one wants to carry extra weight into the woods, on the trail, or in the back of a rig unless it’s pulling double duty. That’s exactly why our tactical shovels exist. At BudK, we’ve pulled together a collection that’s more than just sharp edges and folding handles. These are smart tools designed for real people, real situations, and the unpredictable stuff life (or nature) likes to throw your way.
Folding Tactical Shovels for Real-World Portability
Space is always limited—whether you're packing for a solo hike or gearing up your truck for an off-grid weekend. Our folding tactical shovels are made to collapse down small without sacrificing any real strength. You can stash one in your backpack, under your seat, or even clip it to your bug-out bag. Then, when it’s time to dig in—literally—it unfolds into a sturdy, dependable tool that feels good in your hands and gets the job done. We’ve used these in muddy campsites, icy driveways, and rocky trails. They hold up.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What should I look for in a tactical shovel?
Look for folding capability, durable steel or alloy construction, and extra features like saw teeth or fire starters if you want versatility. - Can a tactical shovel replace other tools?
Yes, many combine key survival functions—like sawing, digging, and chopping—into one compact tool for light-duty field use. - Are battery-powered tactical saws worth it?
If you’re clearing brush or cutting wood regularly, the added power can save serious time and effort compared to manual tools. - What’s best for a bug-out bag: lightweight or multi-tool?
