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).
