Zero Tolerance 0562CF Rick Hinderer Design Slicer Folding Knife

hatuletoh: The media could not be loaded.  I love Zero Tolerance knives, but despite owning a couple dozen different models of them, I'd always held off buying an 0562 because, well...I already own a Hinderer XM, and a few versions of the Hinderer designed 0393. So the 0562 had always felt a little redundant. But knife prices have gone up (again) this year, so when Amazon had them at >$220, I decided to pick one up, as a collection piece if nothing else. To my superise, however, I find that I actually like the 0562 better even than my XM. The 0562 is big but not unwieldy, very lightweight given that the frame is all titanium; the handle is perfectly sized for my slightly larger than average hands, and the choils lock in one of the most solid, controlled, and comfortable grips I've ever felt on a knife. The blade has a signature Hinderer slicer grind, which isn't quite as cool looking as, say, the spanto grind of an 0393, but is much more utilitarian. All of this adds up to a knife that is built to work, and to be comfortable doing so. Oh, and the build quality is perfect, of course [see video]. I've never seen a ZT that wasn't, and I suspect anyone who receives one that isn't has...

Johannes C.: Das ZT0562CF Hinderer Design ist ein absolutes Top-Messer! An diesem Klappmesser stimmt einfach alles: Die Größe, die Ergonomie, das Gewicht (154gr), die Optik und Haptik, einfach perfekt. Ist der Anfangswiderstand einmal überwunden, öffnet die Flipper-Action sehr schwungvoll, auch ganz ohne Federunterstützung. Der schwarze Deep-Carry-Clip sorgt für unauffälliges Tragen in der Hosentasche. Die Slicer-Klinge ist unglaublich scharf und der Flat Grind zugleich robust, als auch sehr spitz für feine Arbeiten. Insgesamt echt ein gelungenes Messer, die Investition lohnt sich!

Stephen: I've always been a fan of Spyderco and Benchmade knives for different reasons, but the quality of this knife is unmatched in my collection. I really don't like smaller knives, as I use my knives for demanding work. 4" is typically my preference, with 3.75" being something I can tolerate(much of this has to do with handle length, because I wear gloves half the time). I was worried 3.5" may be too small, but this is an exception. Lockup is solid, and the fit and finish is excellent. I am a machinist/welder, so I notice the nitpicky things that most people don't. My Spyderco Military was nowhere near as nice out of the box(blade was horribly off center and the bevel looked like stevie wonder sharpened it). The edge on this blade came very sharp. It's super quick to get out and put away(with either hand for you lefties). The pocket clip allows it to disappear in your pocket. I opted for the carbon fiber version, and it was worth the extra money. I really can't say how much I love this knife. The detent is pretty strong, but I don't consider that a negative. Everything seems extremely well thought out. Ergonomically, this is perfection in my book. I'm a little concerned about how tough...
