ZT0450BLUCF: Model 0450BLUCF Flipper Knife
Zero Tolerance Knives
Zero Tolerance provides a sleek, refined alternative to the original 0450 with some extra flair.
This sophisticated ZT is a smaller option in the ZT family, yet offers a robust combination of durable, premium-quality materials. The blade steel is CPM-MagnaCut for exceptional toughness, wear resistance, and edge retention. The MagnaCut blade features a classic stonewashed finish that will hide wear over time. The front handle scale is blue carbon fiber, balancing the knife's solid construction with lightweight convenience. The stonewashed titanium back handle offers a secure frame lock—so you can always cut with confidence.
As an extra visual touch, ZT has added two blue anodized-aluminum tube spacers that are especially eye-catching, standing out against the dark blue/black handle. The 0450BLUCF takes advantage of ZT's KVT ball-bearing system to enable smooth, easy opening for either left or right-handed users. A left/right reversible, deep-carry pocket clip rounds out the 0450BLUCF's basic feature set.
While it's a smaller, more gentlemanly knife, the 0450BLUCF proudly lives up to the overbuilt standards for which ZT is well known.

My Favorite EDC
I've carried this knife every day for a few weeks now, and I'm happy with pretty much everything about it. Handle offers excellent grip, there are no hot spots. I have swapped the pocket clip for a deep carry clip, but the original was excellent without any trouble getting it into or out of my pocket. The only cons I could say is the blade needed a touch up from the factory, the tip was not quite sharp, and the handle could stand to be a couple of millimeters longer (and I mean just that much, it's so close to perfect though that I can't really call it a negative. I wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger on one of these.
