The ZT0393 is a collaboration between Rick Hinderer and Zero Tolerance Knives. A Hinderer Design. This is a flipper knife with a framelock and G10 scales.
A black and stainless two-tone CPM 20CV powdered steel (Super Steel) Spearpoint-tanto or "Spanto" type design blade.
Blue titanium frame and lock with a lock guard insert. This example has been upgraded to carbon fiber custom scales, from Sharp Dressed Scales, at over $100.00 a set, instead of the standard black G10 scales. It has a good mid-to-deep carry, blue clip, not the stock clip. Standard Black pivot, black filler tab, stand offs and screws. KVT Bearings.
It weighs-in at 5.2 ounces. The knife is 4 3/4 " closed. The blade is over 3 1/2 inches long. Well balanced knife. The action is spot-on with a perfect detent that enables the blade to snap open and positively slam-lock into position. It sounds great! Closing the knife is equally satifying and the blade falls into place.
We could not find any issues with the knife as the blade looks new with a factory edge or an excellent touch-up. I can't tell for sure but it looks factory awesome and is very sharp.
This is a nice example of this model. A good looking knife in any collection with one of the most desirable blade steels on the market. Americas answer to Bohler M390 steel.
The ZT0393 two-tone blue is one of our favorite Zero Tolerance Knife models and we have many available in our collection. We purchased this knife as preowned and consider it to be collection grade.
