The Zero Tolerance 0450CF Sinkevich is the kind of knife that exudes a gentlemanly elegance, but knows how to pack a punch. Its sleek carbon fiber handle and slim, dark blade may lead you to believe this knife is just good looks, but the 0450CF is much more than that. The premium materials that go into this blade make the 0450CF proudly part of the ZT overbuilt family.

Picking this knife up, you’ll immediately notice the surprising light weight of this knife. Comfortably engage the flipper, and the matte black blade snaps open with a satisfying quickness, thanks to the KVT ball-bearing system. This 3.25” blade is DLC-coated, which stands for Diamond-Like Carbon. This coating lends to your knife a low friction point, a high hardness, and a high resistance to corrosion, so you’ll favour this knife for a long time. This DLC protection also extends to the 0450CF’s titanium liner lock and handle, giving the knife strength and resilience to most environments.

Our Zero Tolerance friend also features a light carbon fiber handle. It doesn’t just look fantastic, but the carbon fiber also has a dry, moisture-wicking quality to it. So even if you work this knife hard you’ll still have a grip on it. Another intriguing aesthetic of the 0450CF is the two emerald-green anodized aluminum spacers within the handle. This knife may look refined and regal, but these spacers give it a subtle kick of spontaneity that completes this knife’s character. The 0450CF also features a reversible back/front pocket clip for our ambidextrous friends, and a sizable lanyard hole for extra carry options.
