Custom knife designer Todd Rexford has been fascinated with knife construction since he was a young boy. His years of experience are evident in his edged tools, including the Zero Tolerance 0801. The folding knife features a solid titanium handle, razor-sharp ELMAX steel blade, and sturdy frame lock for secure opening. Pull down on the flipper tab to activate the smooth KVT ball-bearing opening technology. Available in silver stonewash and BlackWash finish.

Pro Tip:
Known as the “super steel”, ELMAX is a powder-based steel created by Swedish company Bohler-Uddenholm. It is designed with a high percentage of chromium (18%), giving it improved toughness and more corrosion resistance than other common tool steels, such as S30V and D2. ELMAX is an ideal blade material for both outdoor and kitchen knives.
