CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Zero Tolerance 0235 is a refined slip joint built for those who appreciate traditional operation paired with modern materials and clean execution. Designed with everyday carry in mind, this knife delivers premium performance in a compact, lightweight package that’s easy to trust and easier to carry.
At its core is a 2.63 inch drop point blade made from CPM 20CV stainless steel, a top-tier blade steel known for exceptional edge retention, excellent corrosion resistance, and consistent cutting performance. This steel holds a keen edge through extended use, making it ideal for daily tasks where reliability matters. The stonewash finish gives the blade a subdued, working look while helping mask minor wear from regular use. Classic nail nick opening reinforces the traditional slip joint design, offering deliberate, controlled blade deployment without springs or assisted mechanisms.
The non-locking slip joint construction relies on a strong backspring to keep the blade firmly in place during use, making it compliant with many knife regulations while still providing dependable cutting capability. It’s a straightforward, time-tested design that emphasizes simplicity, safety, and ease of carry.
The handle is constructed from OD green G-10, delivering a durable, lightweight grip that performs well in all conditions. G-10 resists moisture, temperature changes, and hard use, making it a smart choice for an everyday tool. The handle’s slim profile and subtle contouring sit comfortably in the hand, offering confident control without unnecessary bulk. Its understated green tone gives the knife a practical, utilitarian look that fits seamlessly into daily routines.
Weighing just 1.8 ounces and measuring 6.25 inches overall, the Zero Tolerance 0235 nearly disappears in the pocket. A right-hand, tip-up pocket clip keeps the knife secure and accessible while maintaining a low profile during carry. Whether clipped in a pocket or carried loose, it’s built to stay out of the way until it’s needed.
Crafted by Zero Tolerance, the 0235 reflects the brand’s commitment to precision, quality materials, and functional design. It’s a knife that bridges classic styling with modern performance, offering a dependable cutting tool for users who value restraint, reliability, and everyday practicality.
