Austrian Army Tent Stakes
These are genuine Austrian Army tent stakes, sold as a pack of eight. Each one is a metal stake with an angled blade, a tapered point and a hook near the head, so it can pin down a tent corner, a tarp edge or a guy line (the cord that braces a shelter against wind). Campers, bushcrafters and collectors of Austrian kit carry them as a set of stakes that can take a mallet without folding.
Features
- Eight Stakes Per Pack — Eight stakes cover the corners and main guy lines of a small tent, shelter half or tarp.
- Angled Blade Profile — Each blade is formed with a lengthwise angle instead of a flat strip or round pin, which stiffens it and gives it more surface to grip the soil.
- Tapered Point — The blade narrows to a point so it starts easily and drives straight into the ground.
- Integrated Line Hook — A hook just below the head catches a guy line or tent loop and holds it in place while the line is under tension.
- Capped Driving Head — A rounded cap on top gives a hammer, mallet or rock a solid surface to strike.
- All-Metal Construction — Each stake is made entirely of metal, with no plastic parts to crack in cold weather or under a hard blow.
- Austrian Army Issue — These stakes come from Austrian military stores, not a commercial camping line.
Issued Austrian Kit
The Austrian Army issued these stakes for pitching field shelters, and they were built for repeated pitching and striking. That makes them a sensible upgrade for the thin wire pegs packed with many tents. They also suit anyone putting together an authentic Austrian field kit, where the original issue stakes belong with the shelter.

Real Austrian surplus finally, stakes that don't foldThese are genuine Austrian Army issue, and the quality difference between these and the flimsy USGI wire stakes is night and day. At 12 inches long with solid aluminum construction, you can actually hammer these into rocky ground without them bending like paper clips. The Easy Loop System is perfectly sized for 550 paracord, and unlike the plastic stakes from big-box stores, these don't blend into the dirt so you won't leave half of them behind at the campground. Mine arrived in excellent condition for surplus just needed a quick wipe down and they're good as new.
Excellent holding power.

Good strong stakesThese a better than most stakes out there. The condition is really good for surplus used gear. I ordered another set they are that good.

Very well manufacturedI only have USGI tent stakes for comparison; that said they are heads and tails better than those issues by Uncle Sam. I've used them 6 times thus far and they've taken the mallet like a champ, i.e. no chipping or bending. Buy with confidence.

Good old tent stakes!Not much to say about these - sometimes the ends are a bit bent or rough. as to be expected with used equipment. Good price and a functional item!

Very substantial!These could hold any tent in place! The real deal in every way. They are not light in weight , but you could pound the crap out of them and they will work. Stacked in a bundle with 4 opposing the other 4 they measure 3"x 13.5".... You could anchor a freighter with these.
