Zero Tolerance 0203BLKTS Black Tiger Stripe - Duralock - CPM M4 Steel

The 0203BLKTS from Zero Tolerance Knives is a tough, purpose-built folding knife designed for users who expect real performance from their premium gear. Made in the USA, it reflects the brand’s reputation for solid construction, precise fit and finish, and dependable action. This is a full-size folding knife, measuring about 8.4 inches overall and 4.9 inches closed, and weighing roughly 5 ounces. It feels sturdy and balanced in the hand without being overly heavy. Its dark, tactical appearance and smooth deployment make it a reliable option for everyday carry, work, or outdoor use.

The blade is approximately 4 inches long and about 0.156 inches thick, crafted from CPM M4 tool steel. This high-end steel is well known for its toughness, excellent edge retention, and strong wear resistance, usually hardened to around 62 to 64 HRC for long-lasting cutting performance. The drop point profile offers a strong tip for piercing and a curved edge for slicing, while the black Tiger Stripe finish reduces glare and adds durability. Jimping along the spine provides extra thumb traction for better control during detailed cutting.

The handle uses machined black G10 scales that provide enhanced grip and long-term durability. The textured machining helps maintain traction in wet conditions or while wearing gloves, while still keeping the knife balanced and comfortable. It features the DuraLock system for solid lockup and smooth, safe release. The design is fully ambidextrous and supports easy one-handed opening and closing thanks to dual thumb studs and a precision pivot that delivers smooth, reliable action. Just pull back on the lock bar, and the knife blade releases. A reversible tip-up pocket clip and lanyard hole add flexible carry options.

Buying also comes with practical advantages, including free US shipping and the assurance of purchasing from an authorized dealer, KnifeArt.com, a leading seller of premium American-made knives. That means you get an authentic product, full manufacturer support, and dependable service from a retailer trusted by serious knife enthusiasts.
