ZERO TOLERANCE x Rick Hinderer 0560

ZT 0560/0561

The other knife from Blade 2011 from ZERO TOLERANCE that really made an impression is their collaboration with Rick Hinderer. His knives are highly sought and go upwards of $600 when you can get them. Titanium Frame Lock with flipper action. The ZT 0560/0561 are "poor man's" Hinderer. You can pre-order yours for $259 from GP Knives. Comes in two colors: Black (0560) and Earth (0561)

The Zero Tolerance 0560 is the latest collaboration between ZT and Hinderer Knives based on Rick's world renowned XM-18 flipper. The blade consists of pure Bohler ELMAX powder steel that combines high wear resistance and corrosion resistance with extreme edge retention and toughness. The blade has a stonewashed/tumbled finish with dual thumb studs. The flipper rapidly deploys the blade using the KVT(Kershaw Velocity Technology) ball-bearing system. KVT differs from IKBS in that the ball bearings are pressed into nylon washers so that they install as one washer unit rather than several individual bearings, thus making installation and removal much easier. The front handle scale is 3-D machined black G10 with an equally 3-D machined titanium scale on the back. The 3-D machined titanium frame lock has a lockbar stabilizer for extreme lockup security. To lighten up this beefy folder, ZT skeletonized the liner and machined pockets in the titanium handle and frame lock. Includes ZT's new deep-carry pocket clip with quad mounting system for tip up or down ambidextrous carry. Made in USA.
