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.”

🏆 👨‍🎨 We want to thank for creating this amazing piece of art to help celebrate our 20th Anniversary award winning knife the ZT 0020.

I didn’t simply depict a knife.

I created this piece by hand-carving leather using ZT knives themselves, transforming the brand’s tools into both the subjects and the creators of the artwork.

A tribute to the 0020, its legacy, and the excellence that is now being recognized with the “Best American Made Folding Knife of the Year” award.

Thank you, ZT, for this collaboration! Thanks YOU!
Till next time!!!

edc.alter Ken Onion's designs have always been distinguished by their charisma and interesting use of form. This 0400ST is no exception - dangerous, toothy, yet very comfortable. These designs are unforgettable.
