Zero Tolerance 0450

The Zero Tolerance 0450 is based off of the original Zero Tolerance 0454, an award-winning collaboration between ZT and custom knife designer Dmitry Sinkevich. The 0454 it was also a very Limited Edition knife, so ZT did something about that with the new Zero Tolerance 0450. While based on the original’s streamlined form and high-performance function, this new and more compact version will be much more readily available. With its 3.25-inch blade and lightweight-yet-stronger-than-steel titanium handles, the ZT 0450 has a sleek and sophisticated look, making it a perfect EDC.

ZT built it with an S35VN stainless blade that sharpens to a razor edge, holds it well, and can be resharpened easily. The knife opens smoothly and easily with the KVT ball-bearing opening system and built-in flipper. A titanium frame lock with hardened steel lock bar insert ensures solid lock up. Polished pivot hardware just adds to the 0450’s refined good looks.

CPM-S35VN Steel: CPM S35VN is a quality stainless steel from Crucible Industries. Despite the high level of toughness in this steel, which usually diminishes a steel’s wear resistance, this steel does not lose out on a superior resistance to wear and chipping. Combined with carbon, the niobium carbides make the steel more effective in providing resistance to wear and edge chipping than if it were more dependent on chromium, which is the case with many other steels. The resulting edge holding ability of this steel is remarkable, ensuring S35VN steel to be a long lasting one.
