Nóż składany Zero Tolerance ZT Anso 0235

Zero Tolerance ZT 0235 is a small gentleman's folder knife, combining high-quality materials with the simplicity of a classic slip-joint mechanism.

Danish knifemaker Jens Anso, famous for his minimalist yet highly functional knives, is behind the design of the Zero Tolerance ZT 0235.

Theknife does not have a typical locking mechanism, and unfolding the blade requires two hands, so the folder can be legally carried almost anywhere in Europe.

Branded steel

The 66mm long head was made of CPM-S20V powder steel hardened to 59-61 HRC. CPM-S20V is a "super-steel" that corresponds in parameters to Bohler's M390 stainless steel.

Thanks to its high chromium content and high amount of vanadium carbides, it is characterized by exceptionally good corrosion and wear resistance, and very long retention of sharpness.

When choosing a knife made of such steel, it is worth getting a diamond sharpener, as sharpening with a standard ceramic whetstone can be very labor-intensive and inefficient.

The spear point profile head has a matte stonewashed finish, which perfectly masks the blade's scratches and nullifies light reflections. The back of the blade is laser-embossed with the knife's brand name.

Slip-joint locking mechanism

The Zero Tolerance ZT 0235 uses a slip-joint mechanism, a simple spring lock that holds the blade in place in both the folded and unfolded positions.

Unlike a typical slip-joint, however, the Zero Tolerance uses two steel stop balls, on either side of the blade. This functionality keeps the blade securely locked in the partially open position as well.

The knife can be folded using negligible force, so the slip-joint is not officially recognized as a typical knife lock. which is why it can be legally used in most countries around the world .

Classic unfolding

The blade is unfolded using a nail cutout, a popular solution used in pocket knives, among others. As in traditional folding knives, the action of opening the blade requires two hands.

Elegant linings

The ZT 0235 uses stylish facings made of lightweight carbon fiber, a material with great resistance to mechanical damage and weather conditions.

An element that accentuates Jens Anso's contribution is the blue anodized spacer (backspacer), which houses a cord clip or decorative braid.

Thehigh-set clip (with the possibility of flipping it to the other side) allows the knife to be carried comfortably and discreetly in a pocket.
