SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Zero Tolerance Anso Double Detent is a knife that redefines sleek practicality with a focus on lightweight performance and modern design. Built in collaboration with Danish knife designer Jens Anso, this knife is compact, efficient, and made to ride comfortably in the pocket every day. Its plain edge 2.6-inch sheepsfoot blade is crafted from premium CPM M4 stainless steel, a steel chosen by serious users for its incredible toughness and ability to hold a razor-sharp edge through extended use. Finished with a stonewash treatment, the blade not only resists wear but also carries a timeless, work-ready appearance. The sheepsfoot profile excels at controlled slicing tasks and precise cutting, making it a versatile choice for daily carry.
This model operates on a double detent system, offering smooth, simple operation without the need for a traditional lock. With the addition of a right-hand nail nick, the blade deploys easily and reliably, allowing for quick access when the task at hand requires it. The streamlined design reflects both Anso’s design philosophy and Zero Tolerance’s dedication to functional, dependable tools.
The handle is crafted from black carbon fiber, giving the knife remarkable strength while keeping the weight to a mere 1.8 ounces. Carbon fiber’s unique weave pattern provides both an attractive, modern appearance and a comfortable grip that feels secure during use. At 3.7 inches closed, the knife disappears in the pocket until it’s needed, making it an excellent choice for those who prefer to carry something light and unobtrusive without sacrificing cutting performance.
Attention to detail extends to the pocket clip, which is reversible and features an extra-deep-carry design. This ensures the knife rides low and discreet in the pocket while offering options for carry preference. The clip complements the minimalist styling of the knife while enhancing its practicality. With an overall length of 6.2 inches and a blade thickness of .12 inches, the Anso Double Detent achieves the perfect balance of compact size and effective cutting capability.
