The Zero Tolerance 0452CF is a pocket knife of absolute top-quality, made from only the best materials. It's based on an award winning design of the well-known knife designer Dmitry Sinkevich.
Take the blade, which is made from CPM S35VN ‘super steel’, or better: the super steel of super steels, combining high corrosion resistance with extreme toughness. But also being extremely hard, making for a hard-wearing blade with great edge retention, while easy to sharpen. A beautiful stonewash finish prevents the blade from reflecting, while also masking small scratches.
Being a top-end knife, it’s no surprise the blade rotates in ball-bearings, in this case made by KVT. With these, the blade rotates freely and without any play in the titanium frame, making one handed opening with the flipper a breeze. The pivoting point features a custom nut with five spoke design and two-tone finish.
The flipper will also form the finger guard when the blade is unfolded and for full control, the first part of the back of the blade has jimping to put your thumb on to apply pressure. As the frame lock is made from titanium, a hardened metal lockbar insert prevents wear and thus ensures a play-free lock.
The scale on the front is made of carbon fibre, which is -just like the stonewashed titanium frame- extremely light and strong. Of course, the Zero Tolerance 0452CF features a tip-up pocket clip that can be mounted both left and right.
