Based on Rick Hinderer's Fieldtac knife, the new Zero Tolerance 0180 is a smaller and lighter fixed-blade knife, yet it's built to handle tough duty. The blade is made of Vanadis 4 Extra powder metallurgical cold work steel. This steel is perfectly designed for hard use and offers good wear resistance. Resistance to chipping and cracking makes it an excellent steel for hard-use applications like the 0180. It is also very suitable for coating-which ZT does with tungsten DLC non-reflective coating. The 0180's handle scales are G-10 for durability as well as reduced weight. The handle locks right into the hand and the forefinger contour provides grip security. Heavy jimping on the spine further enhances grip. The 0180 comes with a convenient belt sheath. WARNING: This sheath is intended for tip-down carry only. For safety, ensure knife handle strap is fully and securely snapped closed.
