Kai USA’s Zero Tolerance brand of knives made its first appearance in 2006. The company saw a place in the market for a made-in-the-USA line of hard-use knives that would meet the needs of professionals, such as the military, law enforcement, as well as other first responders, including fire fighters and emergency medical personnel. The initial products were combat knives, but since that time, the

line has expanded to include a variety of general-use and premium knives. Although Zero Tolerance knives are larger, heavier knives, many customers use them as everyday carrying knives. Designed and manufactured to stand up to heavy-duty use, Zero Tolerance Knives are built of premium materials such as S30V, ELMAX, or 154CM blade steel and 3-D machined G-10 handle scales. The knives have earned a reputation among their devoted fans for being “built like a tank” or “a real beast” or even being—proudly—“overbuilt.”

Whether it’s for survival, the great outdoors, or summer projects, the military inspired 0006 is the answer. Though it pays homage to the original ZT-9 with a steel guard, this full-tang beast is not a bayonet. Instead, this versatile ZT fits snugly in a durable Kydex sheath for travel. Named after its 6-inch blade, the 0006 uses CPM 3V, a tough tool steel that resists edge chipping during the hardest work tasks. While this non-stainless steel wasn’t designed for corrosion resistance, ZT added a clear Cerakote coating for greater durability. It’s a thick blade at 3/16 inches, but still plenty functional. The rounded profile fills the hand without being too big, and an olive G10 handle offers comfortable grip. Choke up on the aggressive jimping with or without gloves for greater control. When ZT makes a fixed blade, there’s nothing else like it. The 0006 is no exception. Get yours today! https://zt.kaiusa.com/0006.html

The 0004 workhorse slices and chops through the toughest outdoor and bushcraft challenges. Its clip point blade uses premium Cru-Wear, a tough and easy-to-sharpen steel in the field. Easily control the canvas micarta handle, which is 3D-machined and contoured for your hand. Use an Allen wrench to strip the knife down for easy cleaning and reveal the skeletonized steel tang, ready for paracord wrapping. Carry the 0004 in multiple configurations using a Kansas-made, saddle tan leather sheath, storing the ultimate tool for your journey.

Work, formal, or anywhere in-between, experience the 0545. Its slim profile 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 bronze finish. Whether you’re carrying it in jeans or slacks, the 0545 makes the job easy. https://zt.kaiusa.com/0545.html
