ZT-0470

This is not a safe queen. Oh, it’s pretty enough, but it’s built by ZT, so it’s built for function. Designed by Dmitry Sinkevich, the 0470 is a highly practical, easy-to-EDC pocketknife that handles a wide range of tasks. The blade is wear resistant, corrosion resistant CPM 20CV high-chromium stainless steel. The handle is titanium with an eye-catching marbled carbon fiber insert that adds a sophisticated touch to the look of this knife.

• CPM 20CV powdered metallurgy tool steel with high volume of vanadium carbides for exceptional wear resistance and long-lasting edge; two-tone, satin-and-stonewashed blade finish

• Blade Length 3.4 in. (8.6 cm)

ZT-0562CF, 2 Tone, Hinderer

The cousin of the 0562, this ZT features the same special Rick Hinderer flat-ground “slicer” grind that provides both slicing efficiency and a tough point, but on a CPM 20CV powdered steel blade.

CPM 20CV has a high volume of vanadium carbides and a high amount of chromium. You get exceptional edge retention and outstanding corrosion resistance.

The 0562CF’s handle has a carbon fiber front scale and stonewashed titanium back. For secure lock up during use, ZT uses a frame lock with hardened steel lockbar inserts and lockbar stabilization. The knife opens with a flipper and moves out of the handle on our smooth KVT ball-bearing opening system. A washer with caged ball bearings surrounds the pivot and makes opening the knife nearly frictionless; just pull back on the flipper and add a roll of the wrist and the 0562CF is ready for action.

The unique pocketclip is reversible (left/right) and enables extra-deep carry in the pocket.

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.

• Made-in-the-USA fixed blade with steel guard

• CPM 3V steel provides superior toughness and resists edge chipping; bead-blasted finish with clear Cerakote coating for added durability

• OD Green G10 Handle with texturing

• Kydex sheath with secondary retention strap for travel; includes slots, drainage hole, and can be carried left- or right-handed, high or low carry
