The original Zero Tolerance 0454 was an award-winning collaboration between ZT and custom knife designer Dmitry Sinkevich. But it was also a very Limited Edition knife. So ZT is doing something about that with the new 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 0450 has a sleek and sophisticated look that, we think, makes 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 a hardened steel lock bar insert ensures solid lock-up. Polished pivot hardware just adds to the 0450’s refined good looks.

Features:

• Made in the USA
• Based on the award-winning 0454
• Manual open, KVT ball-bearing system
• Frame lock

Staff Notes: This knife is much slimmer and smaller than it appears in the photos.  Customers in our store who handle the Zero Tolerance 0450 constantly remark about how much smaller the knife is in person due to the slim lines.
