Zero Tolerance 0316 Black Micarta, Black CruWear

Built for those who remember where ZT started, the 0316 carries the brand’s hard-use roots forward with a modern edge. Precision manufactured in the USA with American and global materials, it features Swedish CPM Cru-Wear blade steel with strong edge retention, toughness, and ease of sharpening. The modified clip point blade is finished in black PVD to reinforce the military-inspired character. Black canvas micarta scales provide a secure, glove-friendly grip, while thick steel liners give the handle a substantial foundation. Ceramic KVT ball bearings deliver smooth manual action. Gritty, purposeful, and unmistakably ZT, the 0316 brings the spirit of legacy hard-use designs into a new generation.
