Zero Tolerance 0235 Carbon Fiber Slipjoint, Anso Design

A follow-up of the popular ZT 0230 model and also designed by Danish knifemaker and creative genius, Jens Anso, the ZT-0235 is an everyday carry knife that meets at the crossroads of form and function. The 0235 It has the modern lines and materials in a mechanism that is timeless, the perfect urban EDC slip-joint.

This compact knife extends to an overall length of 6.30" and features a 2.60" long stonewashed finished spearpoint blade. Made from scratch hiding American forged CPM-20CV stainless steel, the knife gets its strength from a solid matrix of high carbon steel, vanadium, and chromium to create a strong and hard knife stock (HRC of 59-61) that maintains a razor-sharp edge cut after cut after cut.

A generous nail knick on the blade allows you to open the blade from its ultralight carbon fiber handle. The slip joint keeps the knife open while in use as well as keeping it from opening when it is in your pocket. The carbon fiber composite handle gives you a sure grip in wet or dry conditions and reduces weight (at 1.8oz), meaning you'll hardly feel this knife in your pocket as you go about your day. A striking blue anodized aluminum lanyard attachment on the handle provides for other carry options.

An extra deep pocket carry clip allows you to keep the knife within your reach at home, the office, or wherever you go without drawing attention to itself. The double detent system controls the blade on opening and closing with a half-stop motion using two steel detent balls. Combined with the blade length being less than 3" and the lack of a lock means that this knife is legal to carry in most places. (As with carrying any EDC knife, check with your local laws and regulations to be in compliance.)
