Great knife, tested on the border and worked perfectly (I even cut myself a bit more seriously). It’s excellent for camp work and possibly preparing meals. The company is reliable and worth recommending. The only downside for me is the sheath, but you can buy a leather one on their website.
Rugged tactical knife featuring full-tang construction, with the tang running the entire length of the handle. Crafted in Poland using materials and components supplied by Polish manufacturers.
The Drop-point blade is forged from NMV (O2) carbon steel, hardened to 58-59 HRC, offering outstanding durability and excellent edge-holding capabilities. The blade sports a Stonewash finish for a semi-matte appearance. Enhanced safety is provided by jimping along the spine, giving superior thumb traction during use.
Handle scales feature an ergonomic contour and are crafted from lightweight, resilient brown micarta. The textured surface ensures a steadfast grip, even with wet or dirty hands. A lanyard hole at the handle's end allows for secure attachment of a cord or safety strap.
Durable plastic sheath includes multiple mounting holes for secure and convenient carry on a belt, backpack, or tactical gear strap.

Very good knife for heavy camp work. I’ve been using it for a year and I’m super satisfied. It fits well in the hand. Recommended. Paweł P.S. It also slices bacon well :p

Very good model, perfectly fulfills the tasks I bought it for. Simple blade without unnecessary gimmicks. I especially appreciate the ratio of width, grind, and blade thickness. For many years I used the SRK, then the Fallkniven A1. I like the Expendable much more. I don't buy a knife to chop paving slabs with it – much more often I find myself slicing onions or bread in the field. For field work, this type of grind is also much more convenient to use. The only thing I don’t like is the jimping – I would change it, or preferably remove it. I’m giving 5 stars for the knife, because the sheath is another story. My sheath almost doesn’t hold the knife – it slips off with a slight shake. This defect would certainly be repaired by the manufacturer (or even at home), but I make my own sheaths anyway, so it doesn’t bother me.
