The Zero Tolerance ZT Hinderer 0562 is a sturdy and durable tool, which is a kind of icon of everyday knives. The high quality of the materials used, the optimal size of the blade, the reliable lock and the well-thought-out functionality have made this knife model unflaggingly popular for years.

American stainless steel

The head, with an optimal length of 86 mm, was made of CPM-S20V powder steel hardened to a hardness of 59-61 HRC. CPM-S20V is an American "super steel" whose parameters correspond to Bohler's elite 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 wide blade, with a usable drop-point profile, has a dual finish: satin-finished on the grind and stonewashed on the top. Thanks to the strong stitching, gentle edge curvature and flat grind, the blade penetrates perfectly and cuts very smoothly.

The thickness of the blade at its widest point is 4 mm, which is a compromise between durability and functionality of the knife in everyday work. On the back of the blade are applied transverse cutters, which create a very stable place of support for the thumb or index finger.

The advantages of this solution will be appreciated by every user of the knife during planing or precision cutting.

Instant unfolding of the blade

The blade can be quickly unfolded with one hand using an enlarged flipper or a double-sided peg. Thanks to the alternative, the user can use the knife according to personal preference. Both solutions are convenient for both right- and left-handed people.

On the axis of the head there are KVT ball bearings, thanks to which the blade works very smoothly and dynamically, and the daily use of the knife is pure pleasure.

Work safety

A monolithic frame-lock, equipped with a hardened steel insert against titanium abrasion, effectively protects the head from accidental folding.

Frame-lock is a solid lock considered one of the most durable locking mechanisms, characterized by resistance to dirt and very comfortable operation.

Exclusive linings

The knife has profiled linings made of titanium, which features light weight, total resistance to corrosion, mechanical damage, and low sensitivity to heat, acids and seawater.

Convertible clip

Discreet carrying of the knife in the pocket is made possible by a high-set clip with the possibility of mounting on both sides of the handle.
