Zero Tolerance 0900 Titanium Flipper Les George Design is Spectacular
Posted by Clayton on Jul 17th 2014
One of several new ZT Knives introduced at this years Shot Show is the ZT 0900 collaboration with custom knife maker Les George. This is ZT's first collaboration with George, a former "Senior Explosive Ordinance Disposal Technician" for the United States Marine Corps. This knife is based on his "Mini Harpy" design but premium built with Zero Tolerance Knives solid construction.
Blade
The ZT 900 features a short 2.75" blade is made from Crucible Steel S35VN known for its chip resistance making it very durable and able to show off its razor sharpening ability. The stonewash finish blade comes in a standard edge only and the clip point style is highly sought after. At .16" blade thickness, this durable nugget will work through anything you throw at it.
The flipper blade on the 0900 has buttery smooth action thanks to the KVT bearing system by ZT knives. It rolls out the push of the flipper, no wrist flip needed.
Handle
The ZT Knives 0900 has an all titanium framelock handle and its stubby frame measures only 3.8" closed. A perfect EDC knife which I have personally carried since it came out a few weeks ago. A great smaller carry blade that feels like a ZT in the hand, toughand durable.
At 4.3oz, the 0900 definitely lets you know its there for backup but easily rides in the pocket thanks to the deep carry tip up carry reversible pocket clip.
My Take
My take on this knife is a very compact powerful flipper that looks like a ZT and feels like one too. I love the size and feel of it. The handle is ergonomic and feels great. I have carried it for weeks and can't seem to put it down. The price point is right too and $192 MAP pricing. I highly recommend it.
