ZT0545BLUCF: Model 0545BLUCF Flipper Knife
Zero Tolerance Knives
Work, formal, or anywhere in between, experience the 0545. Its slimness and carbon fiber front handle offer a comfortable and light carry. But the manual KVT folder is also sized appropriately for serious cutting tasks. Even better, the blade measures at an extra slicey 0.09 inches and uses a full-width flat grind. Its CPM-MagnaCut blade steel is balanced with premium edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Aesthetically, this ZT Original is a clean design with no visible pocket clip screws. Yet the minimal deep-carry clip is reversible for left or right carry. As a bonus, the pivot screw is anodized with a stylish blue finish. Whether you're carrying it in jeans or slacks, the 0545 makes the job easy.

Alright
I like the slimness, the blade, and the usability when it’s out in your hand. But that worthless pocket clip makes it almost unusable.

Great folder
This folder checks all the boxes for a quality folder. After owning/using this folder for 6 months, I give it 5 stars because: 1. This blade of 0.09” is thin for cutting smoothly and quickly thru any material.2. Magnacut steel is top tier blade steel for holding an edge, toughness, and rust resistance.3. (To me) the handle has a Great feel. It fits my hand, holding and cutting stuff there is no slip. The pocket clip is small; so it’s out of the way when you handle the open knife.4. Length of 4+” closed and barely over 2 ounce wt. The folder is lite in my pocket and in my hand.5. The edge of 3.2” is an edge usable up to the hilt of the folder. So 100% blade use. 6. The index finger tab opener is easy to use right handed or lefty. The flipper tab opener doesn’t protrude below the handle when the blade is full open. Ie the tab does not get in the way of any cutting chore.7. The only sharpening I’ve done is use a “steel” rod to straighten the edge periodically. It’s still “out of the box” razor sharp.
