Zero Tolerance 0450 Titanium Flipper - Sinkevich Design S35VN Steel - ZT 0450
Zero Tolerance 0450 Titanium Flipper - Sinkevich Design S35VN Steel - ZT 0450
The Zero Tolerance 0450 is the original titanium Sinkevich flipper and the base model that launched one of the most popular compact EDC platforms in the ZT catalog. Designed by Dmitry Sinkevich and built in Portland, Oregon, the 0450 set the standard for what a lightweight, American-made titanium folder could be at this price point, and it has held that ground since its introduction.
The 3.2-inch blade is Crucible CPM S35VN stainless steel, a proven and widely trusted blade steel with strong edge retention and genuine corrosion resistance. It is hardened to 60-62 HRC. The stonewashed satin finish hides scratches from daily use. It opens manually on KVT ball bearings via a flipper tab, and the deployment is fast, consistent, and satisfying every time.
The handle is solid stonewashed titanium. Aerospace grade, corrosion resistant, and remarkably lightweight at 2.9 ounces total. The integral frame lock has a hardened steel lock bar insert and over-travel prevention, so the lockup stays solid and consistent over years of use. A reversible deep-carry pocket clip lets it ride on either side, tip-up. Closed length is about 4.1 inches. Overall length is 7.3 inches.
We have carried the 0450 since it launched and it remains one of our steadiest sellers. If you are looking at your first Zero Tolerance knife or adding a reliable lightweight flipper to your rotation, this is the one we point people to first. 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.

Excellent EDC , June 13, 2015Zero Tolerance 0450 Flipper - Sinkevich Design - ZT 04502 people found this review helpful
I just received the ZT 0450 knife and I could not be happier. This knife is a perfect small edc blade that like all other ZT knives is put together perfectly. Blade came centered with absolutely no blade play in any direction. The grind and swedge are symmetrical on both sides. The red standoffs offer a touch of color that is nice on a otherwise simple design. Knife Art shipped me this knife extremely quickly as usual, Highly recommend them for your knife purchases.
THE production knife of 2015!, April 21, 2015Zero Tolerance 0450 Titanium - Sinkevich Design8 people found this review helpful
If a $500 midtech or an $800 custom flipper is a 10, this knife would be a 9+. At only $160 I go for the ZT now as I don't have to worry about beating up on it or losing it nearly as much. I love the heft of this thing, it is so slim and so solid feeling in the hand, a ton of quality condensed into a smaller package, that's what I tell the ladies... The blade is spot on dead centered, lock up is rock solid with no play whatsoever in any direction. The steel lock bar insert engages the blade at about 40% and there's Zer0 stick. The KVT bearings work as advertised, very smooth and lightning fast deployment every time. The edge on mine (serial #1307 ordered April 10th 2015) came out of the box razor-hair-shaving & paper-slicing-sharp with a DEADLY sharp needle point tip. This will be a great piercing blade if I'm ever ran up on by a couple of methed out goons in dark alley some night. Great knife, awesome value I highly recommend this to anyone that has been in the market for a good, small Ti flipper on bearings (there are not many out there). Made in Oregon.
