Zero Tolerance 0203 — DuraLock, CPM-M4, Tiger Stripe

The ZT 0203 is a full-size, hard-use folder in the best Zero Tolerance tradition: thick, strong and built to take punishment. It uses the DuraLock, a crossbar-style lock that sits across the spine — fully ambidextrous, very strong and easy to release with one thumb.

The 4-inch drop point blade is CPM M4, a high-speed tool steel famous for combining excellent edge retention with exceptional toughness — it will take hard use and impacts that would chip harder steels. M4 is not stainless, which is why ZT has given it a tiger stripe finish; keep it dry and lightly oiled and it will look after you. At 4.1 mm thick, the blade is genuinely robust.

Black textured G-10 scales sit over full steel liners with a solid pivot bolt, and the pivot is user-adjustable so you can tune the action. A reversible deep-carry clip keeps this 176 g knife low and secure in the pocket. Made in Tualatin, Oregon.
