Rivery Zero Cab Lab Collaboration Grenade OTF Utility W/Gun Metal Gray Aluminum Handle Zero-M-OTF-G-6061-CLC GMG

The Rivery Manufacturing Zero CadLab Collaboration Grenade OTF Utility Knife delivers a powerful combination of precision engineering, American craftsmanship, and everyday cutting performance. Designed for those who appreciate high-quality tools with a refined mechanical feel, this out-the-front utility knife transforms a simple cutting instrument into a premium piece of functional gear.

At the core of the Zero is its precision-machined 6061 aluminum construction. This aluminum alloy is widely respected for its strength, durability, and lightweight characteristics, giving the knife a solid feel without adding unnecessary bulk. The handle features a distinctive Grenade-style machining pattern that enhances both aesthetics and functionality. This aggressive texturing improves grip while giving the knife a bold, industrial look that stands apart from traditional utility tools.

The CadLab Collaboration edition takes the Zero to another level with its premium custom finish. Each handle receives a gun metal gray anodized treatment using CadLab CNC’s Techevon finishing process, creating a deep, refined tone that standard production anodizing processes simply can’t achieve. The finishing work is completed in West Palm Beach, Florida, where CadLab CNC applies its signature craftsmanship to every piece. Because anodizing is a natural chemical process, slight variations in color and appearance may occur, giving each knife its own subtle individuality while maintaining the same high-quality standard.

The Zero’s out-the-front mechanism is engineered for both reliability and tactile satisfaction. Its robust key and spring system produces a crisp, mechanical click and clack with every deployment and retraction. The action is smooth and controlled, allowing for fast, one-handed blade operation whenever a cutting task arises. From breaking down cardboard to slicing packaging materials, the Zero delivers efficient cutting power with a satisfying mechanical feel that users will appreciate every time they operate it.

Versatility is another key advantage of the Zero utility knife. It’s compatible with a wide range of widely available blades, making replacements easy and giving users the flexibility to select the blade that best suits their needs. Compatible options include Workpro SK5 61 mm blades, Dewalt Carbide Edge, Rapid Edge Serrated, Milwaukee, Titan, Berkling SK2h Black, Jet SK5 Titanium Coated, selected generic SK5 blades, and STANLEY 11-800L utility knife blades.

A built-in lanyard hole adds another practical feature, allowing users to attach a cord or tether for convenient carry and quick access. Every element of the Zero reflects thoughtful design, blending durability, mechanical precision, and distinctive style.

Machined and assembled in East Tennessee and custom finished by CadLab CNC, the Rivery Manufacturing Zero CadLab Collaboration stands as a true American-made utility tool built for performance, craftsmanship, and lasting reliability.
