Zero Tolerance Knives: ZT 0223 Knife, ZT-0223

The Zero Tolerance 0223, designed by Tim Galyean, is a beast of an EDC that features a 3.50 inch clip point blade made of premium CPM 20CV stainless steel, .156 inches thick, with a non reflective black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) finish, weight reducing slot and decorative hole pattern, notched thumb rest for secure purchase, and a flipper for ambidextrous one hand opening. The matte black DLC coated titanium handle, 5.00 inches closed, has a pivot with KVT ball bearing system for smooth action, grooved earth brown G10 scales for secure grip, sturdy frame lock with hardened steel lockbar insert, and a side to side reversible pocket clip mounted at the butt end. The ZT 0223 Knife has an overall open length of 8.60 inches, and it weighs 4.7 ounces. Proudly made in the USA.

From the ZT website: Designed by Tim Galyean, the 0223 takes its inspiration from a classic military knife, but ZT's version is a folder, making it easy to EDC and ready for every task you ask it to take on.

The blade is clip-point style with heavy jimping along the spine and a cutout to decrease weight. CPM 20CV blade steel offers exceptional hardness and wear resistance to take and hold a sharp edge, toughness to resist impact, and - with the highest level of chromium of any high-vanadium steel - excellent corrosion resistance. For an extra measure of blade protection, ZT adds black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, ceramic bead blasted for a non-glare finish.

The titanium handle is also DLC coated and bead blasted to extend the matte look. The 0223 has a sturdy titanium frame lock with a hardened steel lockbar insert for reliable lockup. ZT's KVT ball-bearing system, combined with a highly ergonomic flipper, make the 0223 quick and easy to open, too. The 0223's earth brown G10 handle scales are reminiscent of the original military knife's stacked leather handle. Our G10 scales wrap around to the top of the handle and meet in the middle to provide a comfortable and secure grip - as well as helping to keep debris out of your knife.

The pocketclip is left / right reversible and made of bent steel with a black Teflon® finish. The bronze-anodized titanium tube spacer in the handle is secured by two custom screws. A series of decorative holes drilled in the ricasso of the blade echo the jimping along the spine and add to the subtle details of this remarkably handsome knife.
