Blade

Zero Tolerance ZT0560 Hinderer Design Black Folding KnifeThe 0560 comes with an ELMAX German steel. This kind of steel is ideal for knives due to its composition. It allows the knife to handle very high levels of corrosion and superior compressive strength. With an ELMAX blade, your ZT 0560 will take on more punishment and abuse that you can throw at it and still be good enough to slice your steak at dinner time.

Handle

The Zero Tolerance 0560 comes with a machined G10 and Titanium scales.  Titanium is used to save weight without sacrificing strength. The mild slope on the handle and length gives you a good grip and makes the

knife safe to handle. You can go to town with this knife and you know that it will not falter.
