This is one of the finest knives I have ever seen.
I had a difficult decision between this and the Fallkniven F1.
It was important to inform everyone of the weakness with this knife and it is the sheath. The sheath has a plastic insert that is far too big for the knife, so big in fact that with every step the knife bounce around in it.
I phoned Zero Tolerance and spoke with Ensley, a very nice woman and she knows of this issue. I asked why they have a very expensive incredible knife with a bubble gum sheath and she suggested I speak with a "sales manager."
Have you ever been bs'd by a salesman and call them on it? That was my experience with Pat O'Donnel.
He's as slippery as hillary.
First he said that they don't make many of these knives, their focus was on folders. I retorted then he had plenty of time for quality control. He quickly retracted and said they sell too many to check each sheath and that they were high quality sheaths. I again stated that they are not high quality on this planet, but perhaps where he was they might be and that he should read the reviews that most others have written about this conundrum.
He lamented and said they are looking into doing something but had no plans firm yet and that the equipment to produce their own was far too extravagant.
I suggested he do some research and mimic the sheaths found on the Gerber LMF II which provided a fit so tight that the knife could literally be worn upside down and not fall out as well as having a sharpener built in for half the price of this knife.
He is not interested, so I have an incredible knife, but no sheath for me to carry it with.
I went on to share with Mr O'Donnel that if zero tolerance went so cheap on the sheath it makes one wonder where else they went cheap!
I sold my folder the next day and am now selling this knife and buying the Fallkniven F1 which is at least equal to the zero tolerance, comes with and incredible sheath and for less money.
I simply have zero tolerance to people that attempt to BS me and make a half assed product.
It's a damn shame.
Check out Fallkniven.
