SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Zero Tolerance OTS Auto 0512 Olive Green Micarta is a powerhouse of precision engineering, built for those who expect nothing less than excellence from their everyday carry. Proudly made in the USA, this automatic knife embodies ZT’s commitment to uncompromising performance, rugged durability, and refined craftsmanship. Designed for professionals, collectors, and serious knife users alike, the 0512 delivers the perfect combination of strength, speed, and control in a sleek, purpose-built design.
At the heart of the 0512 lies a 3.5-inch CPM Cru-Wear clip point blade with a gray stonewashed finish. Cru-Wear is renowned for its exceptional edge retention, toughness, and wear resistance—ideal for both hard-use cutting tasks and precision work. The stonewashed finish enhances corrosion resistance while concealing signs of wear, ensuring your knife looks as sharp as it performs. Its flat grind and fine tip provide the versatility needed for slicing, piercing, and detailed cuts in demanding conditions.
The handle showcases Zero Tolerance’s masterful balance of form and function. The front scale is made from rugged olive green canvas micarta, offering a secure, textured grip that feels natural in hand, even in wet or gloved conditions. The back handle features stonewashed titanium, lending structural strength and a refined contrast to the micarta’s natural tones. The ergonomic profile provides excellent control, and the overall build radiates ZT’s trademark overbuilt quality.
Deployment is fast, authoritative, and dependable, thanks to the push-button automatic mechanism. One press of the button fires the blade open with speed and precision, while the integrated button lock ensures solid, secure lockup every time. A reversible deep-carry clip allows for discreet tip-up carry, and at just 4.4 ounces, the 0512 offers a balanced feel without unnecessary bulk.
This is more than just a knife—it’s a statement piece of American craftsmanship, designed to perform under pressure and look good doing it. Whether you’re on the job, in the field, or adding to your premium knife rotation, the Zero Tolerance 0512 stands ready to deliver uncompromising reliability.
