3 Things To Love About Zero Tolerance Folders

We've watched the Zero Tolerance product line mature (for lack of a better term) over the last several years, and we really like what we see. These days there's a lot to love about ZT knives, but if we had to pick just three things...

1. The look. When you see a Zero Tolerance folder, you know it -- ZTs have a distinctive appearance that says "modern" without being contrived or silly. We're especially fond of the latest generation of ZT folders.

These aren't mere styling exercises, though. Sure, they're sexy -- but they can cook, too, which is why a number of us here at KnivesShipFree have at least one Zero Tolerance folder in our EDC rotations.

2. The materials. This is a knife company committed to using top-quality, hell-for-stout materials in its frames and handles -- titanium, carbon fiber and G-10, to name just a few.

Beyond skin-deep, Zero Tolerance isn't shy about using "super steels" -- the current lineup of folders includes blades crafted from Elmax, M390 and even Crucible CPM M4 tool steel.

We admire ZT's choice of materials not because it's hip or different, but because they (along with the knives' sound design) just plain work.

3. The Zero Tolerance Limited Lifetime Warranty. We're big fans of the way ZT backs its products -- not just the warranty itself, but the service that stands behind it.

If your Zero Tolerance folder gets dull, the company will sharpen it for free. Accidentally break the blade doing something really stupid? They'll replace it for $30, no matter how it got that way.

Thirty bucks. How cool is that?

KnivesShipFree stocks a great selection of Zero Tolerance knives, both folders and fixed-blades.
