Or whatever the 1960s German army called their folding shovel while we were calling ours an entrenching tool. This German military-surplus version is remarkably similar to ours, except that it uses a push-in, spring-loaded bolt to open and lock.

Does anyone need to be told what a Slinky(tm) toy is?? Okay, it is a very slack spring, 2-7/8" dia x 2-1/2" long, compressed. It will stretch out to about 5 or 6 feet long without deforming. That's the boring part. The interesting part is that it "follows" itself. Slosh it from hand to hand. Put in on the top step of stairs, flip the end down a step, and watch it walk down stairs, or down an incline. Believe us, no childhood (or adulthood) is complete without an original stainless steel Slinky(tm). It was hard for us to find it, but we are glad we did. You should be too.
