Zero Tolerance 0562 Flipper Opening Knives FAQ

The Zero Tolerance 0562 series translates Rick Hinderer's iconic custom design into a high-performance production folder featuring his signature slicer grind. These over-built, American-made knives are engineered for hard use while maintaining a refined flipping action.

What type of blade steel does the Zero Tolerance 0562 series use?
The Zero Tolerance 0562 series primarily utilizes premium steels like CPM-20CV and CPM-MagnaCut for exceptional edge retention and toughness. Some models feature a two-tone finish with stonewashed flats and satin grinds, while special sprint runs may offer unique finishes like tiger stripe DLC.
What are the benefits of the Rick Hinderer slicer grind?
The slicer grind on the 0562 series provides a versatile blade geometry that is thicker near the heel for heavy-duty tasks and thinner toward the tip for precision slicing. This design ensures the knife remains strong for power cuts without sacrificing the efficiency needed for everyday tasks.
What handle materials are available for the 0562 series?
This series offers several handle configurations, including full stonewashed titanium, carbon fiber with a titanium back, and green canvas micarta options. All variants utilize a sturdy titanium frame lock and include a reversible deep-carry pocket clip for discreet carry on either the left or right side.
How does the flipping action work on the 0562?
Zero Tolerance 0562 knives feature a KVT ball bearing pivot system that provides a smooth and crisp deployment every time the flipper tab is pressed. The detent is carefully tuned to ensure that the blade fully deploys reliably unless you are intentionally trying to prevent it.
Why is the Zero Tolerance 0562 so popular among enthusiasts?
The 0562 is widely considered the most faithful production version of the Rick Hinderer XM-18, offering a similar aesthetic and ergonomic feel at a more accessible price. It is a cornerstone of the Zero Tolerance tactical knife catalog due to its reputation for durability and award-winning American craftsmanship.
