SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Rivery Zero Grenade Manual OTF Utility Knife delivers precision, style, and an addictive tactile feel that’s hard to match. Designed and machined in East Tennessee, this compact powerhouse combines precision engineering with everyday practicality, resulting in a utility knife that’s both a functional tool and a sensory experience. The action is manual, giving you full control over the blade with a crisp, mechanical click as you extend and retract it. Each motion engages the beefy key and internal spring system, producing the kind of satisfying click-clack that makes using it as enjoyable as it is effective.
Crafted from 6061-T6 aluminum, the handle is light yet strong, with a satin anodized finish that feels smooth in hand while standing up to years of daily use. This Grenade-pattern version adds a distinctive, textured grip and visual appeal that sets it apart from standard OTF designs. The bright red anodized surface gives it a bold, modern look that’s equally at home on a workbench or clipped in your pocket. Despite its rugged build, the Zero is small and fast, with an overall length of just 3.2 inches and a 0.75-inch stainless steel utility blade—perfect for precision tasks, package opening, or everyday cutting needs.
Rivery’s attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the Zero’s construction. The action is tuned for a balance of force and feel, delivering a confident extension and solid lockup. A lanyard hole is machined into the body for convenient attachment, though the knife ships without a lanyard, allowing you to customize it to your preference. As with all Rivery tools, it’s fully made in the USA, machined and assembled with pride in East Tennessee.
The Zero is also compatible with a range of 2-notch utility blades, giving you flexibility and easy replacements. Confirmed compatible blades include Workpro SK5 (61mm), Dewalt Carbide Edge, Rapid Edge Serrated, Milwaukee, Titan, Berkling SK2H black, Jet SK5 Titanium coated, and several unbranded SK5 options. It’s worth noting that Fiskars blades are incompatible, and ceramic blades aren’t recommended due to their fragility.
Compact, satisfying, and built to last, the Rivery Zero Grenade Manual OTF Utility Knife blends craftsmanship, innovation, and pure tactile enjoyment into one precision-cutting package.
