The cousin of the 0562, this ZT0562CF features the same special Rick Hinderer flat-ground "slicer" grind that provides both slicing efficiency and a tough point, but on a Carpenter CTS-204P powdered steel blade. With a high chromium, tungsten and manganese content, CTS-204P offers good wear resistance with superior edge retention. This powdered metallurgy stainless steel takes a razor edge and holds it well. It can also be polished to a mirror finish and is very tough. The 0562CF's handle has a carbon fiber front scale and stonewashed titanium back. For secure lock up during use, ZT uses a frame lock with hardened steel lockbar inserts and lockbar stabilization. The knife opens with a flipper and moves out of the handle on our smooth KVT ball-bearing opening system. A washer with caged ball bearings surrounds the pivot and makes opening the knife nearly frictionless; just pull back on the flipper and add a roll of the wrist and the 0562CF is ready for action. The unique pocketclip is reversible (left/right) and enables extra-deep carry in the pocket. Made in the USA. KVT ball-bearing opening; Reversible deep-carry clip; Frame lock, lockbar stabilizer; Steel: Carpenter CTS-204P, stonewashed and satin finish; Handle: Carbon fiber front, stonewashed titanium back; Blade Length: 3.5 in. (8.9 cm); Closed Length: 4.8 in. (12.2 cm). Zero Tolerance Storage Pouch Included.
