Review: Zero Tolerance 0200 Military Folder
Tuesday, March 12, 2013 13:42
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
The knife is the survival tool par excellence. In the
world of wilderness survival it’s the essential tool that you’re never
supposed to be without, the one that allows you to build shelter, procure food,
build a fire and basically keep yourself alive.

In my opinion a knife is also an essential tool for urban
survival as well. Not only for cutting strings here and there and opening
packages. Sure, a blade comes in handy for ordinary tasks, but on other cases it may be invaluable. As an extreme close range weapon its hard to beat
the knife, which is a reason why most gun people that carry a firearm will usually
carry a tactical folder as well. A tough knife can be used for limited prying
on doors or cutting seat belts and prying victims out of wreckages. For urban
survival applications and other demanding scenarios, sometimes you need more
than just a cutting tool and the extra toughness can be priceless.

The ZT 0200 is clearly a tough use, over-engineered
tool. You can tell there’s been no cost compromise in making the knife.

Design: The folder was designed by Ken Onion. The nearly
4” long and 0,15 “ thick blade is fantastic. It has a subtle yet effective recurved
blade that makes it ideal for cutting and slashing, while still achieving a
narrow tip that would penetrate nicely for defense or could be used for detailed
work as well. The handle is very ergonomic and
will fit most people with medium size hands like a glove. The knife can be opened both with an ambidextrous
thumb stud or by flicking while applying pressure to the flipper.

high end folder manufacturers. The handles are 3D machined G10. The liner lock
is very thick, locking safely into place.
