Zero Tolerance 0044BLK Blackout Flipper - Black Coated S45VN

The Zero Tolerance 0044BLK is the Blackout edition, with every visible surface finished in uniform black coating from blade to titanium handle to pocket clip. Where the 0044BW Blackwash has a worn, stone-tumbled texture, the Blackout runs clean and subdued. This is the version for buyers who want a low-profile knife that does not draw attention in an office pocket or on a duty belt.

The 3.2-inch blade is CPM S45VN stainless steel at 59-61 HRC. S45VN is Crucible's step forward from S35VN. It holds an edge longer under daily use while maintaining the corrosion resistance and toughness that matter in a knife you carry every day. The black coating over the blade eliminates glare and adds surface protection. Blade thickness is .121 inches.

The handle is black-coated titanium at 3.4 ounces total. The button lock is the standout feature on this platform: press the button to deploy or stow the blade with one hand, no wrist flick or liner manipulation required. Ceramic ball bearings in the pivot make the flipping action fast and smooth. A built-in overtravel stop protects the lock from wear over thousands of cycles. Closed length is 4.35 inches. Overall length is 7.55 inches. Reversible deep-carry pocket clip, either side.

We carry both finishes of the 0044 and know them well. The Blackout is the pick for law enforcement, military, or anyone who values a uniform, professional 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.
