Zero Tolerance 0990 - Carbon Fiber Flipper - 20CV Steel

The Zero Tolerance 0990 is an innovative design that provides the user with a sleek, modern and highly functional everyday carry folding knife. The American-made 0990 is an excellent choice at this price point - it sports high-quality blade steel of 20CV, carbon fiber with skeletonized handle construction, and a lighting fast KVT bearing for fast opening.

The CPM-20CV stainless steel blade is 3.25" long, with a scratch-hiding stonewashed blade. The flat grind, drop point style gives the knife strength in chopping and cutting, yet features a sharp enough point for delicate work as well. The blade stock is very durable at .121" thick, and with a Rockwell hardness of 59-61, this blade can be sharped down to a razor's edge, which it will hold for a very long time. The blade is flipper deployed and held in place by a hardened steel liner lock. The fittings on the knife are hardened stainless steel with a black oxide coating. The overall length of the knife is 7.80" open, and 4.40" closed, and at 2.9 oz, you might even forget it is there until you need it.

The handle is perhaps what is most striking about 0990 it has steel liners, a carbon fiber handle, and a steel overlay. The exposed "bridge" stop pin is a unique feature that is easy to see when the knife is open. When the knife is closed the flipper tap extends slightly over the stop pin "bridge". The knife has a strong detent and opens extremely smooth thanks to the KVT ball-bearing pivot. For versatile carry, the pocket clip can be moved two each side of the handle.
