Legion Premiere Look at the ZaPas Expandable

The Za-Pas Expendable is a survival knife designed for outdoor use, such as hiking, camping, and bushcraft. Here are some specifications for the knife:

Blade
Made of NMV tool steel, which is more resistant to blunting and has higher impact strength than other carbon steels. The blade has a flat-ground drop point profile and is hardened to 58-59 HRC for a balance of sharpness and durability.

Handle
Made of G10 or Micarta, which is a pressure-pressed canvas and synthetic resin. The handle has a symmetrical design that allows the knife to be held in either hand, and it has a lanyard hole and a hole for a rope.

Sheath
Made of Kydex or ABS, and can be mounted in three ways: on a belt, using the PALS system, or with a Tek-Lok mount.

Other specifications
The knife has a blade length of 150 mm (5.9 in), a heel height of 35 mm (1.4 in), and a total length of 280 mm (11 in). It weighs 300 g (10.6 oz).

  • Fantastic looking knife sir. It looks like a good bone breaker. Thanks for the review.

    Hello Gruggs. Good looking knife brother. You and family have a great Fourth of July 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
  • @jonnyboat2
    Looks like a flat primary bevel. Am I correct in guessing that?

    I do love the proportions of this Expendable design, too bad it doesn't come in stainless (yet). Ceracote and stonewashed seem to be the only choice with a handful of handle materials (G10 black & orange, brown micarta) and styles (smooth, toxic). Currently taking a break from AliExpress after some issues with a "lost" order. How can you do long distance business if there is a good chance your order will never arrive? Tired of wasting my time. There must be a better solution, maybe some day, but today is not that day.😞
