ZT 0452CF Folding Knife

The ZT 0452CF Folding Knife carries the legacy of one of Zero Tolerance’s most celebrated collaborations — the award-winning 0454 by custom knife designer Dmitry Sinkevich. This production version captures the sleek, modern lines and uncompromising performance of the original, offering collectors and users alike a knife that transitions seamlessly from the office to the field. With its long, graceful blade and refined carbon fiber-titanium construction, the 0452CF is a study in balance, precision, and cutting efficiency.

A Design Born from an Award-Winner

When the original 0454 debuted, it redefined what a production knife could achieve in design and execution. The ZT 0452CF stays true to that vision, maintaining the same size and silhouette but making it more accessible to knife enthusiasts worldwide. Sinkevich’s distinct aesthetic — clean, aerodynamic, and purposeful — is paired with Zero Tolerance’s uncompromising build quality, resulting in a knife that’s as stunning as it is functional.

High-End Materials, Smooth Performance

Made in the USA, the ZT 0452CF features a CPM S35VN stainless steel blade with a striking two-tone finish for outstanding edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The KVT ball-bearing system ensures glass-smooth manual deployment, while the carbon fiber front scale and stonewashed titanium back provide strength without excess weight. The secure frame lock guarantees reliability under hard use, and the distinctive 5-spoke pivot hardware adds a signature Sinkevich touch. A deep-carry pocket clip keeps the knife discreetly at hand wherever your day takes you.

Elegant, lightweight, and built for serious performance — the ZT 0452CF stands as one of the most refined modern EDC knives ever produced.
