---|---|---|
Attractive Blade FinishKershaw’s Blackwash finish derives from a balanced blend of blade coating and stonewashing. Together the two produce a precisely formulated all-black matte finish impervious to fingerprints, smudges and marring. And, even though the knife itself is brand new, Blackwash projects a well-worn, vintage look popular for blending comfortably with clothes and gear during everyday use and carry. |
Fast DeploymentUsing “caged” ball bearings for smooth blade deployment and overcoming stronger knife detent, the KVT Ball-Bearing Opening System makes one-handed knife opening fast and easy without the need of a mechanical assist. Ball-bearings surround and freely rotate around the pivot. When the user pulls back on the flipper, the blade rotates out of the handle as the ball bearings roll into place. |
Secure Locking SystemKershaw’s frame lock design makes knives safer, securer, sturdier and quicker for one-handed blade deployment. The knife handle, or frame, has two metal plates on either side of the blade, and when open, the lockbar butts up against the blade’s backend to prevent blade closure. To close the knife blade, push the frame to the side to unlock the blade and fold the blade back into the handle. |

Manual FlipperFlippers on manual-open knives require user to push with quick strength until blade deploys. Some manual flippers disappear when blade deploys, others become a finger guard. Manual flippers appeal to inexperienced users as well as experienced users who prefer a classic, old-style opening. In both cases, ambidextrous flipper works as index finger applies pressure while closed knife sits in palm. |
Durable HandleA reinforced polymer of thin strands of carbon tightly woven, carbon fiber is tremendously strong yet lightweight. Strong weaves of bonded carbon atoms are used to compose carbon fiber in both Kershaw high-end knife handles and Zero Tolerance premium materials. With solid strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, carbon fiber is an excellent, high-performing, high-quality knife handle. Titanium is a lightweight metal alloy and it offers excellent corrosion resistance. Heavier than aluminum but still lightweight and strong, titanium is a very sturdy material often used in knife handles, locking liners, or as a blade coating to enhance performance. Titanium is a sleek, stylish, premium material that’s excellent for the ideal everyday carry. |
Convenient PocketclipKershaw designs pocketclips to fit specific knives according to their weight, intended end use, size, style and hardware. Some knives have multiple carry options, others are more streamlined. The 4-position pocketclip allows tip-up or tip-down carry on both the right and left sides, providing users the most versatility. Proper use of the pocketclip promotes safety and efficiency while using knife. |

The "perfect" folding knife has never been manufactured, yet this ZT 0562CF comes pretty close. Those of you who like your EDC at 3 oz. and 3" or less should look elsewhere. For everyone else, look no further. Quite possibly the best EDC knife ever produced for the price.
Hinderer has taken the best qualities from the 0560 and 0550 and melded them into a more user-friendly carry-friendly daily use knife that is a Home Run. The blade steel is upgraded to M390 with a "slicer" grind which is more adept at the daily cutting tasks required of an EDC. I like my EDC to be at least capable of serving in a self defense situation. This knife, although not a tactical design, is certainly large enough and stout enough for defensive use if needed. The design is not tactical in 2 ways: the aforementioned blade design and the relative paucity of jimping and grippiness on the handle. Both of these qualities however make the knife better for everyday use. The handle is supremely comfortable and just melts into the palm. At first touch the carbon fiber feels slippery but with the subtle finger grooves and the choil/flipper/finger guard the knife locks into your grip yet with no hot spots. A mastery of design.
The blade action out of the box with no adjustment is as smooth as it gets. The blade moves so smoothly on the pivot it feels like it is floating on air. Even so the detent keeps the blade firmly and safely in the handle when closed. The weight at 5.5 oz. may be too heavy for some for EDC but the knife is so well balanced it feels much lighter in hand.
A+ for fit and finish, ergonomics, balance, lockup, detent, M390 steel, beautiful carbon fiber, 3.5" blade, deep carry clip and smooth flipper function. The only thing I would change is to give the pocket clip a stonewash finish (instead of black paint) similar to the titanium frame to better resist scratches.
Close to perfect.
EDIT: After a few weeks of carrying this daily, I have a few things to add, none of which are surprising. The action is still solid and a bit smoother(it was already buttery out of the box). With wet hands, the grip is a bit slippery, but that is to be expected from such a smooth finish on titanium. The blade is also not the best slicer, which is also to be expected for obvious reasons. The blade itself is scratched up, but I haven't had any chips. The steel holds a very nice edge, and it seems to last a long time. I decided to re-profile the edge to my liking, and I couldn't really tell the difference between this and s30v in terms of time to sharpen. I'm not saying it isn't better than s30v, but it's not noticeably more difficult to sharpen than s30v. I used an edge pro apex up to 3000 grit and a strop. It was a bit tricky, because this blade doesn't have much surface area to rest the blade without accidental tilting. I was mindful of this when I bought it, but it turned out not to be a big deal at all. I checked the pivot when new, and it's still just as tight as when I checked. It may loosen up over time, but it doesn't seem to be a problem so far. Overall, I'm still blown away by this blade. There aren't any bad surprises. Fit and finish is remarkable for the price point.
I love the deep carry clip that I wish Zero Tolerance offered in all of their designs. I avoided some blades because they did not offer a deep carry clip. This one is outstanding and certainly deep for discrete yet immediate retrieval.
The steel is great and certainly fits the bill for being super steel. It had a great edge right out of the box and should sharpen up very nicely. I love blade grind. It is indeed a slicer yet robust and stout to do almost any job. I love that. The look of the blade is so complimentary as is the graphite handle that covers the titanium.
The action on the ball bearings is wonderful. It opens smoothly and is so satisfying to deploy over and over. There is some built in fidget factor in this design that just makes me smile as I take it out of my pocket and deploy it.
In the end, this is now my favorite carry knife. It looks sharp enough for going to church or the office, but works great for being my EDC.
