Zero Tolerance ZT 462 Sinkevich with CPM-20CV
Item #: KE-ZT462
$308.00
The popular 0460 now has a bigger, bolder brother. This super-sized version, designed by Dmitry Sinkevich, has a large 3-3⁄4" upswept blade of CPM-20CV at 60-62 Rc. CPM-20CV delivers superior hardness and corrosion resistance, along with toughness, wear resistance, and excellent edge retention.
The obverse handle is black and deep-red carbon fiber and the reverse side is titanium with a stonewashed finish. The knife locks up securely thanks to a frame-lock with a hardened steel lockbar insert. Like many ZTs, the 0462 opens quickly and easily with the KVT ball-bearing system and a built-in flipper.
While the first thing you will notice about this big knife is that sweeping blade and handle curve, take a look inside the handle and you will find something familiar if you are a fan of the A. G. Russell™ Featherlite™ Steel handles. ZT has included those same cutouts in the titanium side of this handle to reduce the weight the knife. Measures 5-1⁄4" closed. Weighs 3.9 oz. Made in the U.S.A. Suggested retail is $300.00.

Kershaw Knives
Kershaw Knives was founded in 1974 in Portland, Oregon when knife salesman Pete Kershaw started a cutlery company that would make knives from his designs. Japanese based KAI Cutlery manufactured those designs. In 1978, KAI Cutlery purchased Kershaw Knives and the company, renamed KAI USA Ltd., continues today with three product lines; including the original Kershaw Knives, Zero Tolerance Knives, and Shun Cutlery which primarily markets kitchen cutlery.
Over the years, Kershaw Knives has worked with several custom knifemakers. Cutlery Hall of Famer Ken Onion, a custom knife maker and inventor of the “SpeedSafe” assisted opening mechanism, is the premier knife designer for Kershaw Knives. Kershaw has also collaborated with custom knifemakers Grant and Gavin Hawk, Frank Centofante, and Ernest Emerson. Kershaw has released models that were developed in collaboration with National Geographic, Jeep, Orange County Choppers, the American Professional Rodeo Association, and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation.
Kershaw manufactures excellent knives and has built a very strong customer fan base due to their innovative designs and their quality control.
