ZT0450CF: Model 0450CF Folding Knife

Zero Tolerance Knives

Zero Tolerance provides a dark, 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-S35VN for exceptional toughness, wear resistance, and edge retention. The S35VN blade is DLC coated for matte-black good looks and enhanced performance. The front handle scale is carbon fiber, balancing the knife's solid construction with lightweight convenience. The DLC-coated titanium back handle offers a secure frame lock—so you can always cut with confidence.

As an extra visual touch, ZT has added two emerald-green anodized-aluminum tube spacers that are especially eye-catching, standing out against the black handle. The 0450CF 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 0450CF's basic feature set.

While it's a smaller, more gentlemanly knife, the 0450CF proudly lives up to the overbuilt standards for which ZT is well known.

Meh
Not great. Blade kind of thick so it’s not a good slicer. Kind of small so it doesn’t fit my hand that good, stock clip sucks. Not the best flipper. I was disappointed.

Very goog knife, although it needs a bit of getting used to.
It's a very well constructed knife, with good materials and a high quality finish for the price. It's my first ZT knife and my first over $200.00 pocket knife as well. I'm happy with the price paid for the construction and blade material (S35VN).However, I have one complaint. Right out of the box the knife was unopenable. It came extremely stiff. So much so, I thought it could be a serious problem. So, I decided to open it a good 30 times without the flipper tab to smooth everything out and see if that helped. Openning it in this manner was very easy and smooth.Surprisingly, it was very easy to open with my left hand, using the flipper, after those intial ~30 opennings. Seeing this, I changed it again to my dominant hand (right) and was right back to the extremely stiff, barely openable action. After a bit of examination I discovered it wasn't the knife action at all nor any part getting hung on another. It was that, being a frame lock, in this particular knife, it's amazingly easy to put a bit of pressure on the locking part and making it very problematic to open. Having said this, excellent knife, very sharp edge from the factory (not hair splitting sharp but very good, about the same as my two Benchmade Bugouts), very nice feel on the hand and beautiful to look at. The blade shape and size seems to be well suited for most basic cutting tasks. I recommend it for everyday carry.

I have a nice collection of knives but ZT knives are probably the best quality hands down. Smooth action sturdy design and extremely sharp blade.
