A very affordable 'forest' knife, well-made from decent steel. The leather sheath deserves particular praise, as it is really well crafted. Another advantage is that the handle scales are screwed on, which allows for fairly easy customization of this element.

Very good knife, at a very good price. It comes already sharpened, it is not too heavy or too light, and you can feel that you have something in your hand, which allows you to work with wood while camping or doing other outdoor activities. Due to the leather sheath and the sharpness of the knife, it's better to be careful when inserting it, because the blade can leave deeper marks inside.

Very good knife made of good steel. I've been using it for some time and I can say it is comfortable, sharp, and compact. I use it daily for cooking—cutting, peeling, spreading. The sheath is well sewn and made from thick leather. For this price, you won’t buy a better knife. Perfect for camping, bushcraft, or at home. I recommend it.

Very solid knife. Sharp, well-made, and has a great leather sheath. Above all, it's a Polish product. I definitely recommend buying this knife.

Well-made, sharp, fits well in the hand. The sheath is solid and fits perfectly. Retro vibe, it reminds me of my childhood Finnish knife. Ideal for camping or other trips.

I've been using ZA-PAS knives for some time (I have the indestructible Ultra Outdoor) and here the price to quality ratio is perfect. I bought the Explorer NCV as my son's first 'adult' knife, who eagerly joins me on forest trips, and... he is thrilled. He wears it proudly and wants to use it even when it's not needed :) As with all Za-Pas, the craftsmanship is very good and the cutting edge is razor sharp.

A solid, atmospheric, and versatile knife that will replace my already worn-out Mora. It's hard to find a knife in a leather sheath at this price. The protruding guard has somewhat sharp edges and you have to be careful when batoning, but it's not a problem—a quick file or using gloves solves it. A Polish company, so I can't give less than 5 stars.
