Zero Tolerance 0223
About Zero Tolerance 0223
Designed by Tim Galyean, the 0223 takes its inspiration from a classic military knife, but ZT's version is a folder, making it easy to EDC and ready for every task you ask it to take on.The blade is clip-point style with heavy jimping along the spine and a cutout to decrease weight. CPM 20CV blade steel offers exceptional hardness and wear resistance to take and hold a sharp edge, toughness to resist impact, andwith the highest level of chromium of any high-vanadium steelexcellent corrosion resistance. For an extra measure of blade protection, ZT adds black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, ceramic bead blasted for a non-glare finish.The titanium handle is also DLC coated and bead blasted to extend the matte look. The 0223 has a sturdy titanium frame lock with a hardened steel lockbar insert for reliable lockup. ZT's KVT ball-bearing system, combined with a highly Ergonomic fLipper, make the 0223 quick and easy to open, too. The 0223's earth brown G10 handle scales are reminiscent of the original military knife's stacked leather handle. Our G10 scales wrap around to the top of the handle and meet in the middle to provide a comfortable and secure gripas well as helping to keep debris out of your knife.The pocketclip is left/right reversible and made of bent steel with a black Teflon finish. The bronze-anodized titanium tube spacer in the handle is secured by two custom screws. A series of decorative holes drilled in the ricasso of the blade echo the jimping along the spine and add to the subtle details of this remarkably handsome knife.

Reliable
I bought this knife as a welcome back from deployment present, and honestly didn't fall in love with it like I thought I would. It is comfortable in the hand, slightly less comfortable in the pocket. The lock up on it is insanely good, basically as good as a fixed blade. It opens and closes smoothly, but not nearly as fun to carry as my PM2, which is why I think i rarely found myself… read more carrying the knife. Always going back to one of my spydercos. So I had to move across the country, and I decided I would only carry one knife (and a multi-tool) during the move process. After much debate I went with the 0223. I am so glad I did. I have been using this knife daily, and I have been so impressed by the edge retention. Better than S110V. I also reprofiled this knife to about a 36 degree inclusive edge, which I thought would weaken the edge. Not that I can tell at all. This knife is an absolute tank.
Amazing
This knife is outstanding, it feels like a bank vault lock and works effortlessly smoothly. One of Zt's absolute best.
ZT Galyean 0223 pocket folder/flipper
I love the knife, so there's that. Note that the specs don't specify edge length. The blade length of 3.5 inches is the shortest length at the top of the blade from where the angled hilt juts forward the most, but you can see that the cutting edge is much longer - nearly 4 inches in fact. The design here with the strong angles at each end of the handle makes the knife feel more… read more like a 4-incher than other 3.5 inch blade knives. The flipper is silky-smooth, and everything about this knife oozes quality of materials and workmanship.
First Impression
I've only had the knife for a week or so and so far it's a great knife. I love its style and it has great ergonomics. Flips reliably and has a smooth action. Lock up is solid with no blade play and it endured a few solid spine whacks without lock failure. Great little knife and I look forward to seeing how well it holds up over time.
Solid Knife!
My first ZT and new favorite EDC knife. Only complaint is that it wasn't that sharp from the factory but my Spyderco Sharpmaker took care of that!
Feels like a knife should
You had me at inspired by a classic. I've been waiting for this knife for awhile.
Item arrived very fast, awesome shipping BladeHQ.
When I hold this knife there's like a glowing aura surrounding me, its an awesome sense of warmth and balance. Then ghosts of the past can speak to me and all the questions of the universe are answered.
That clip point Mmm! and that grippy…

handle feels so good in my hand, its a slim design, took some getting used to since most my ZT knives are beasts. this is still a lil beast tho no doubt.
Yeah... this knife is pretty epic. Time to give the blackout a break maybe. maybe.
