High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe RIVERY Zero Cab Lab Collaboration File OTF Utility Knife in gun metal gray is a masterclass in precision, durability, and tactile satisfaction. Built for those who demand performance and appreciate craftsmanship, this tool combines the clean, functional lines of the Zero platform with the purposeful grip of a file-pattern machined handle. The 6061 aluminum construction is anodized in a sleek gun metal gray, providing a rugged yet refined appearance that resists wear while feeling solid in hand. Every pass of the file texture is cut with purpose, ensuring enhanced control whether you’re working in the shop, on the jobsite, or tackling everyday cutting tasks.
At its heart, this utility knife features a replaceable stainless steel razor blade—sharpened to perfection for precise, clean cuts. The manual thumb-slide OTF (out-the-front) mechanism offers crisp, confident deployment and retraction, with the satisfying “click” that Zero owners can’t put down. The internal carriage is designed to fit a wide range of 2-notch blades, making it a versatile cutting companion ready to adapt to your needs. Known compatible options include Workpro SK5, Dewalt Carbide Edge, Rapid Edge Serrated, Milwaukee, Titan, Berkling SK2h black, Jet SK5 Titanium coated, and various unbranded SK5 blades. Fiskars and ceramic blades are not recommended.
This collaboration with Cab Lab is more than cosmetic—it’s an intersection of machining mastery and functional artistry. Machined in East Tennessee and metal-finished in West Palm Beach, Florida, each unit is the result of meticulous post-machining processes that elevate both form and function. The premium anodizing work delivers a depth of color and texture not often found in production knives, ensuring that each piece feels as good as it looks.
Weighing in at a size-conscious ~2.7 inches closed and ~3.2 inches overall, the Zero File OTF slips easily into a pocket or tool pouch, yet offers the durability and comfort of a full-size handle. A lanyard hole is machined into the frame for additional carry options (lanyard not included). Rugged, lightweight, and built with an unmistakable attention to detail, this utility knife is as ready for hard use as it is for display.
