They were never issued for a reason. See above replies for the answer.

Looking at some of the photos, it looks like the black tri-fold "E Tool" would fit this case neatly.

Going back a few years to 1992, while on course in Wainwright, we had these buggers issued to us with the well used 64 Pattern covers. Standard issue at the battle school. They broke all the time(right after your hand got caught at the top)........

Funny I just came across 3 of those folding shovels with the pick, one is dated 1955 and made by Ames, the American Sword Maker, they also made the US folding shovels in WW2. Heres the kicker, the shovel is C Broad Arrowed!
So I had to buy it..there were 2 other shovels of this type also, both dated after 54, made by NSF and again C Broad Arrowed. I do not know who NSF was, however they showed use and came as surplus.
