Zero Tolerance Hinderer Pocketknife; 3.5-Inch CPM 20CV Steel Blade, KVT Ball-Bearing Opening System, Flipper, Reversible Deep Carry Clip, Titanium Handle, Made in USA (0562TI)

Amazing knife!!! Mine was was the upgraded magnacut instead of 20cv which is just icing on the cake. This knife carries deep in the pocket, locks up securely (spine whacks to test), deploys flawlessly and cuts like it's mad what it is cutting (many much slices, slicey). I carried the elmax version for years until it was stolen. I am so thrilled to have an updated 0562 with premium materials in my pocket.

Awesome knife! This is my first ZT and I am impressed. This knife wasn't cheap but I am really satisfied with it. I have been carrying it for a few months now and once I got used to its size and ergonomics, I find that I really enjoy having it on me at all times, since its so useful and ready for anything. It stays very sharp even after significant usage, and the action on this knife is very addicting, you won't want to set it down once you have flicked it open for the first time. The action makes that satisfying sound, like racking the slide on a 1911 does. It just sounds right! Its made very well and feels rock solid in my hand during use. Its a heavy duty knife but it carries a lot ligher than you'd expect, due to the titanium construction. I really like the deep carry clip, the knife stays out of sight but it also holds it securely in your pocket. I can take a motorcycle ride and not be worried about losing it. I have no complaints whatsoever, this is a badass knife! Update 2021: 2 years in and still going strong. Its been rock solid the entire time. Nice and tight, even after tons of EDC duty. I really like this knife, it's a tool I just won't be without. Buy one, you will see for yourself what I'm saying. Update 2023: It's been 4 years now with this knife and no complaints at all. It's been right-on the entire time. Still looks great, it's really holding up well. I use this knife regularly, which is daily, and I just stay impressed with the quality that ZT built into it. Still nice and tight and rock solid when locked.

Just got Hinderer Design Zero Tolerance knife and it’s without a doubt the best EDC I’ve ever had. I love knives and have had a slew of pocket knives for 40 plus years. I’d buy a knife, use it for a couple years and then give it to a friend when I felt like it was a good knife but still not the perfect knife. I’ve even had a couple Zero Tolerance but still not perfect. I never paid over $200 for a knife but those Zero Tolerance weren’t Hinderer design and the difference between the $200 Zero Tolerance and the Hinderer Design are noticeable. I loved all my Zero Tolerance knives but the Hinderer Design is is the perfect knife. After years of trying to find the perfect knife I have found it with the Hinderer Design Zero Tolerance. The action of this knife is so satisfying that it makes me want to open the flipper again and again. The sound of the knife opening when the blade locks into place is so much better than any other knife Ive owned. It’s cool The Hinderer Zero Tolerance at $260 + seems like a lot of money but it’s a great knife. I think I’ve found the perfect knife, although looking at Hinderer Designs website it looks like I might have to try one of his knives. I really don’t think you can improve on this knife but……..,,.

Updated: After the 0562TI broke in I changed to a Five Star Review. I purchased this knife from Amazon, and it was fulfilled by Deadwood Knives, a five-star seller. When I received the knife and tried to flip it open-I couldn't. No matter how much force I applied. I couldn't open this knife. Frustrated, I repackaged it and planned on returning it. I would have given the Zero Tolerance Hinderer 0562TI only One Star. But online reviews and videos gave this knife high marks. So I decided to fidget with the knife and my grip and discovered the grip was all-important to opening the knife. After changing my grip, I found that the blade smoothly flicked out if the knife was held correctly. Each time the blade locked firmly in place solidly and without blade play. I have other Zero Tolerance knives (0308, 0223, and 0770cf - all great knives), and my grip is less of an issue. The assisted openers are easier for me to use, and I have no problems with them. Also, some flippers work smoothly with less effort: for example, the 0450 line. I like the 0562TI more as I grip it properly, and I anticipate that it will break-in. I anticipate getting used to its nuances. In conclusion, I'm not sure if my hand size causes me to push on the liner lock. If others are aware of my learning curve, they may examine their grip and avoid my issues. The 0562TI is a well-constructed knife with a great blade.

I’ve owned this ZT for 3 or 4 years now. It mostly sits in my collection drawer with my Hinderer XM-18 models. Today, I picked this knife up again and carried it for the first time in a long time. I’m continually impressed by the solid build, excellent action, grind and ergonomics. I think I might prefer it over my Hinderer models. I logged back I hear to see if they’re still available and check how prices may have changed over the years. I think this knife is a great value around $250. Definitely a must have if you’re wishing for a Hinderer but can’t quite find the one you want or don’t want to pay $425+

Absolutely great knife. Craftmanship is what you’d expect from a knife of this price range. Love carrying it. Feels great in my hand. My first flipper and although I love this knife I realize I like thumb studs more. Not a dealbreaker by any stretch. My last edc was an SOG which I wore for about 12 years every day and I like the scaling a bit more on that one. The titanium feels great though it’s not super grippy and I haven’t tested it when wet. I bought this mostly as a “nicer” edc and it’s not just nice but the blade is sharp and durable in the couple months I’ve been using it. Plus ZT is American made. That made it an easy choice.

This knife exceeded my expectations. It's well built and solid, with good tolerances everywhere, very sharp, and made with good materials. It pops open faster than my Hinderer XM-18 2.5", and I like the smooth Ti finish more than the micarta scales that I have for my actual Hinderer (waiting for smooth Ti scales to get in stock for the XM-18). I can't say anything bad about this knife. I also got it on sale for $240 with 5 equal payments that don't use up my credit. Even at $300 it is worth it.

I was initially not entirely pleased with the state of the knife - it came with a very stiff action and had what the internet refers to as "detent rock," which is to say there was some play in the blade when the knife was closed, or so I thought. After taking the knife completely apart, cleaning the parts, and putting it back together, the action was significantly smoother and blade seemed more stationary when closed. Not sure how that worked, but since it did, I feel comfortable giving it 5 stars. Hopefully I don't have to come back and change my mind. Overall, It might not really live up to the hype (which is astronomical), but it's still a 5/5 star knife.
