Some knives are made to perform. Others are designed to inspire. The Zero Tolerance 0990 does both—bridging the legacy of the legendary, ultra-limited ZT 0999 with a refined, futuristic design that’s ready for everyday carry. Born from one of the most coveted collector’s knives ever made, the 0990 offers bold engineering, premium materials, and eye-catching style that turns heads and delivers when it counts.
Built for enthusiasts who demand peak performance, the 0990 features a 3.25‑inch CPM 20CV spear point blade. This “super steel” is celebrated for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness—ideal for holding a razor edge through extended use. The stonewash finish not only enhances its rugged aesthetic but also helps to disguise everyday wear.
Deployment is lightning-fast, thanks to the KVT ball‑bearing system and flipper tab. The blade glides open smoothly and locks up solidly with a precision-engineered frame lock, reinforced by a hardened steel lockbar insert for extra durability. Every action feels purposeful and reliable.
The handle of the 0990 is engineering as art. Its skeletonized stainless steel frame gives it structural strength while keeping weight down, and the carbon fiber inserts add visual flair along with lightweight comfort. The signature “floating bridge” over the pivot isn’t just a stylistic touch—it’s a testament to the intricate machining and advanced craftsmanship behind Zero Tolerance knives.
Despite its avant-garde design, the 0990 is built to carry. Weighing just 2.9 ounces and measuring 4.4 inches closed, it fits effortlessly in the pocket. The reversible, deep-carry stainless steel pocket clip offers discreet, ambidextrous, tip‑up carry—perfect for everyday use.
Proudly made in the USA, the Zero Tolerance 0990 proves that precision, artistry, and everyday utility can coexist in one remarkable folding knife.
