ZT0022: Model 0022 Folding Knife

Zero Tolerance Knives

Designed by Tim Galyean and precision built by Zero Tolerance, the 0022 practically disappears in your pocket—until it's needed. Of course, the 0022 is adept at a full range of cutting tasks around home and office. Yet we're sure that some of you will also find it a useful accompaniment to deep thought, flipping it open and closed, again and again. This is the smallest ZT they’ve ever made yet it's still an impressive piece of engineering.

The 0022’s under-two-inch blade is made of CPM-20CV stainless steel for superior hardness and corrosion resistance, as well as toughness, wear resistance, and excellent edge retention. The handle features a carbon fiber front scale with stonewashed titanium back. And even though it's small, the 0022 is designed for hand comfort with deep finger contours to ensure a good grip.

For eye-catching looks, ZT added a decorative pivot with a blue-anodized pivot ring and matching tube spacers, which make an attractive contrast with the dark carbon fiber. ZT's smooth KVT ball-bearing opening makes it quick, easy—and somewhat addictive—to open and close the 0022. Whether as an office-appropriate EDC or even as a backup knife, the compact 0022 packs an outsized punch of performance and quality.

Cool Little Knife
This is my eighth small knife and one of my favorites. Feels larger than it is when opened. Easy to grip. Well made. Fun to show off. I like it.

Unusable for lefties...
Beautiful knife. Small, ergonomic, light. It should, however, contain a literal notation that this knife is useless to left-handed individuals. The design is such that holding it left-handed leaves your grip forcing the locking bar against the blade, making it impossible to open. Beyond that, I found the flipper very stiff. Perhaps it loosens over time? I returned it.

Fantastic little knife that takes some getting used to
The goodThe knife is made of premium materials and is very well built.It's physically small, but it's in a completely different league as many of my other micro knives.The 20CV steel is fantastic. It's razer sharp and holds an edge well.I haven't needed to sharpen it yet. I know 20CV can be tough, but I'm assuming most people who buy this knife know this about 20CV already.ZT did not skimp out on any details. The back is titanium and they still put a hardened steel edge on the lock tab to prevent wear in the locking mechanism. The action is incredibly smooth and the lockup is rock solid.The badWhile the action is incredibly smooth, the detent is extremely tough. It takes a LOT of force to get this knife open, especially with the tip of your index finger.Because it is so small it is tough to find a solid position to really get the most pressure on the flipper tab.I'm assuming this will loosen up over time, though that steel is pretty tough so I'm not sure how much more it will give. I guess I can consider this a pro since this thing feels like it'll still have a solid lockup long after I'm gone.On a related note, the only other issue I have is that I found in order to get in the right position to get it open, the base of my thumb starts to wrap around the bottom of the handle. if I'm not careful, when it opens, the blade point will catch the palm of my hand near my thumb.If I back my hand away, I lose a lot of grip and it's that much harder to get the flip action open.I have had flippers where the detents were too soft and that makes it that much more difficult to build up enough pressure in your finger to get the blade fully open, so there are advantages and disadvantages.When the blade is open, despite it's small size, the shape and ergonomics are spot on for my ML hands. I don't have any issue keeping a strong grip, and the blade shape up top along with the jimping allow me to get plenty of power behind the blade. I would also suggest a deep carry pocket clip. Given how short it is, I want to keep as much of it inside the pocket as possible.
