Zero Tolerance ZT0450 – The EDC Icon That Started It All

The ZT0450 isn't just a knife—it's a milestone in Zero Tolerance's history. Introduced in 2015, this Dmitry Sinkevich design was one of ZT's first ventures into sleek, lightweight everyday carry knives, departing from their traditionally overbuilt designs. The result? An instant classic that remains a favorite among knife enthusiasts.
