CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Zero Tolerance Black Textured G-10 Tiger Stripe CPM-M4 is built for users who expect serious strength, dependable lockup, and no-nonsense performance in a full-size everyday carry. This knife is designed to handle hard use without hesitation, combining premium materials with a tough, utilitarian profile that feels ready for work the moment it’s in your hand.
At the center is a 4 inch CPM M4 tool steel drop point blade finished in a bold black and white tiger stripe pattern. M4 is prized for its outstanding edge retention and toughness, making it a go-to steel for demanding cutting tasks where durability matters most. The drop point profile offers excellent control with a reinforced tip, giving you confidence whether you’re making precise cuts or powering through tougher material. The tiger stripe finish isn’t just eye-catching, it also helps mask wear and scratches, keeping the blade looking sharp through heavy use.
Manual deployment comes via dual thumb studs, allowing fast, controlled one-handed opening. Once open, the blade is secured by Zero Tolerance’s DuraLock system, delivering a solid, reliable lockup you can trust under pressure. The action feels deliberate and smooth, reinforcing the knife’s role as a dependable working tool rather than a lightweight novelty.
The handle is built from black textured G-10, chosen for its strength, grip, and resistance to the elements. The aggressive texture ensures a confident hold even in wet or gloved conditions, while the ergonomic shaping fills the hand comfortably without feeling bulky. A tip-up pocket clip keeps the knife riding securely and ready for quick access, making it practical for daily carry despite its robust size.
Measuring 5.25 inches closed and 9.25 inches overall, this knife delivers a full-size feel that translates to control and leverage during use. At 6.6 ounces, it has enough weight to feel substantial and reassuring, yet it remains balanced for extended cutting sessions. Every detail reflects a focus on durability, reliability, and real-world performance.
Crafted with the precision and toughness expected from Zero Tolerance, this knife is made for those who don’t compromise on materials or function. It’s a purpose-built tool designed to stand up to hard use and keep performing when it counts.
