Rivery Zero Cad Lab Collaboration Original OTF Utility Knife W/Olive Drab Green Aluminum Handle Zero-M-OTF-O-6061-CLC OD Green

The Rivery Manufacturing Zero CadLab Collaboration Original OTF Utility Knife combines precision engineering, American craftsmanship, and standout styling into a high-performance tool built for dependable everyday use. Designed for enthusiasts who value tactile satisfaction as much as practical function, this out-the-front utility knife transforms an essential shop tool into a precision-engineered instrument.

At the core of the Original is its machined 6061 aluminum frame. This material delivers exceptional strength while remaining lightweight, providing durability without unnecessary bulk. The knife’s balanced design ensures a secure grip and controlled handling, whether you’re opening boxes, cutting packaging, or performing general workshop tasks. Every edge, angle, and contour is thoughtfully engineered for both comfort and utility.

This CadLab Collaboration edition sets itself apart with a premium olive drab green anodized finish. Each knife is custom anodized using CadLab CNC’s Techevon process, creating a depth and consistency of color that standard production finishes can’t achieve. The finishing process is completed in West Palm Beach, Florida, where CadLab CNC applies meticulous attention to detail. Slight variations in tone or finish may occur naturally during anodization, giving each knife a unique character while maintaining the same professional standard of quality.

The Zero’s out-the-front deployment system is engineered to provide both reliable performance and addictive tactile feedback. Its robust key and spring mechanism produces a crisp, mechanical click and clack each time the blade extends or retracts. The action is smooth, precise, and controlled, allowing for quick one-handed operation whenever a cutting task arises.

Versatility is a key advantage of the Original. The knife is compatible with a wide range of utility blades, making replacements easy and letting users select the blade that best fits their needs. Compatible blades include Workpro SK5 (61 mm), 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 practical carry options, allowing attachment of a cord or tether for quick retrieval. From its precision-machined aluminum frame to the custom CadLab finish, every detail reflects thoughtful engineering and design.

Machined and assembled in East Tennessee and custom finished by CadLab CNC, the Rivery Manufacturing Zero CadLab Collaboration Original OTF Utility Knife exemplifies premium American craftsmanship and high-performance utility.
