ZT 0562CF Folding Knife

The ZT 0562CF Folding Knife is the premium evolution of Zero Tolerance’s collaboration with custom knifemaker Rick Hinderer. Building on the renowned 0562 platform, this model upgrades the design with a sleek carbon fiber front scale and a high-performance blade featuring Hinderer’s signature “slicer” grind. It’s a precision cutting tool that balances elegance, ergonomics, and sheer power—ready for everyday carry or demanding field work.

A Collaboration Built for Performance

Rick Hinderer’s designs are celebrated for their functional geometry and real-world usability, and the ZT 0562CF embodies that philosophy perfectly. The slicer grind delivers a broad, gently curved edge for superior slicing while maintaining tip strength for piercing and controlled cutting. The titanium frame lock with hardened steel inserts and lockbar stabilization ensures secure, rock-solid lockup—hallmarks of both Hinderer’s and Zero Tolerance’s uncompromising build quality.

Premium Materials, American Craftsmanship

Crafted in the USA, the ZT 0562CF is built from CPM 20CV stainless steel, one of the industry’s most advanced super steels. With a high vanadium carbide content and abundant chromium, it offers exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The carbon fiber front scale reduces weight and enhances grip, while the stonewashed titanium back adds both strength and style. Finished with a deep-carry pocket clip and lockbar stabilizer, this knife combines premium performance with understated sophistication.

The ZT 0562CF isn’t just a knife—it’s a testament to American innovation, craftsmanship, and the pursuit of perfection in every detail.
