Zero Tolerance 0004BLK Black Fixed Blade - Black Coated CPM Cru Wear

The Zero Tolerance 0004BLK is the blacked-out edition of ZT's Cru-Wear fixed blade, with a black-coated blade, black 3D-machined micarta scales, and black oxide hardware throughout. Where the standard 0004 has a warm, classic appearance with natural micarta and a bronze Cerakote blade, the BLK runs darker and more subdued for buyers who want a unified dark look in the field or on duty.

The 4.2-inch blade is CPM Cru-Wear tool steel with a black coating for corrosion protection. Cru-Wear is a high-toughness tool steel that holds its edge through long cutting sessions and handles impacts that would chip or roll a harder, more brittle steel. Blade thickness is .157 inches on a full-tang construction.

The handle is 3D-machined black micarta, contoured to the same ergonomic profile as the natural version. Black micarta has the same performance characteristics: dimensional stability, reliable wet grip, and a feel that improves with use. Black oxide-coated screws complete the hardware. Total length is 9 inches at 6.1 ounces. Included is a black saddle leather belt sheath, handmade in Kansas, with a retention strap, tie-down rivets, and Tek-Lok compatibility.

We stock both the natural and the black 0004 and can speak to the differences firsthand. The BLK is the better pick for a unified dark appearance. Covered by Zero Tolerance's lifetime warranty. Free US shipping, a satisfaction guarantee, and your order normally ships the same business day from KnifeArt.com.
