Zero Tolerance Knives 0470

This handsome new design from ZT and Dmitry Sinkevich begs to take pride of place in your collection. Not that 0470 is a safe queen. Far from it. It’s a highly practical, easy-to-EDC design that handles a wide range of tasks and looks good doing it. The blade is CPM 20CV high-chromium stainless steel. This powdered metallurgy tool steel has a high volume of vanadium carbides for exceptional wear resistance and a truly long-lasting edge. The highest level of chromium of any high-vanadium steel gives it excellent corrosion resistance as well. The two-tone, satin-and-stonewashed blade finish looks handsome, while our KVT ball-bearing opening and a flipper make the knife fast and easy to open. The 0470’s handle is titanium with an eye-catching marbled carbon fibre insert. Instead of a formal “weave” as in standard carbon fibre sheets, for our “marbled” insert, the carbon fibres are dropped randomly onto the plate. Then resin is added to secure the fibres and produce a smooth surface. ZT leaves ours with a matte finish for an intriguing and sophisticated look. A titanium clip and a black anodized-aluminium backspacer complete the look of this refined pocketknife.
