The Zero Tolerance 0100 is one of the first knives produced by Zero Tolerance, the premium division of Kai USA, which was launched in 2006 to develop professional tools for military personnel, law enforcement, and first responders. The 0100 model was, in fact, one of the first three fixed-blade knives in the original lineup, alongside the 0121 and 0150 models.

The design bears the unmistakable stylistic signature of Ken Onion, the renowned American designer already responsible for numerous successes at Kershaw. The distinctive “S”-curved blade offers an unusual combination of cutting ability, power, and precision, making the ZT0100 suitable for both tactical applications and the most demanding outdoor use.

For its construction, Zero Tolerance chose CPM 3V, a steel then considered cutting-edge for its strength and impact resistance, paired with a tungsten DLC coating and three-dimensionally machined G-10 scales. This combination helped solidify the brand’s early reputation as a manufacturer of “overbuilt” knives, designed without compromise for field use.

Today, the ZT 0100 is a discontinued model particularly prized by collectors, as it is considered one of the knives that helped define the Zero Tolerance brand’s identity in its early years.

The tip profile is flat with a tapered upper edge, ensuring excellent cutting performance with good penetration strength. The full tang and handle of the Moros provide a neutral balance, making it light in hand. The ergonomic and textured Micarta canvas handle offers a comfortable and secure grip, both dry and wet.

Magnum continues the tradition of its annual knives and presents the Collection 2023, a collector's knife with exceptional appeal. Passionate knife collectors around the world will once again be faced with the choice of whether the knife should find a place in the display case or on the belt. Lucas Burnley, considered one of the world's most renowned knife designers and who has already launched several successful knife series for Boker and Boker Plus, was won over for this special project. The knife maker from the U.S. state of Oregon knows how to combine clear lines and tactical influences in his designs like no other.

The Magnum Collection 2023 is an impressive full tang outdoor knife with a massive D2 blade that features a pronounced ricasso and an unusual two-tone finish. The designer alternates between a horizontal and vertical finish on the blade, which underscores the special appeal of the fixed-blade knife. Attention to detail also continues in the contoured handle with black polished Micarta grips that gives excellent user ergonomics for effortless work. Features include a high-quality leather sheath with two snap fasteners, an exclusive collector's box, and a certificate of authenticity. The Magnum Collection 2023 is strictly limited to 1999 pieces worldwide.

The Harsey TT (Tactical Trout) is designed to be a very comfortable and sturdy medium-sized knife for most field tasks and defensive use. The size of the TT makes it easy to carry and handle.

The blade profile provides a clean cut with excellent tip strength. The full tang and handle of the Harsey TT provide neutral balance in the user's hand. The ergonomically shaped, linen Micarta handle provides a comfortable and secure grip when dry or wet. The pommel has a lanyard hole in the center of the angled tip. The TT is an excellent universal fixed blade, well balanced in size, function and feel. In our opinion, one of William Harsey's best designs.

After more than 40 years of service in the U.S. Army Special Forces, Curtis Iovito and Mark Carey founded Spartan Blades LLC in North Carolina.

The Kudu Hunter fixed-blade knife offers an excellent balance between form and function: the wide drop point blade is reminiscent of its predecessor model Harpoon, but without the dedicated thumb rest. The handle is extremely comfortable for different types of grips, and its shape does not cause fatigue during long periods of use. The Kydex scabbard has a Kydex belt loop that allows you to switch between normal belt carry and scout carry, right or left handed, with ease. This is truly an excellent "all-around" design by Andre.

Takeshi Saji was born in 1948 in Takefu (Fukui prefecture), a city located roughly in the center of Japan and in the heart of an area for centuries devoted to the production of blades. His workshop is still there, built around the oven thanks to which, for several years now, Takeshi Saji has been forging steel (especially damascus) with which he makes various models of traditional Japanese knives. The choice of materials for the finishes (mainly natural), the essential lines - evocative of use - and the chromatic combinations of rare impact make his creations unique and unmistakable in the panorama of world cutlery and, at home, they have earned him the prestigious title of Master.

Carl Schlieper Stahlwarenfabrik & Export was originally a trading company founded between 1754 and 1798 in Remscheid, Germany. Products included knives, tools and freehand razors. A branch of the company in Solingen was responsible for the production of knives including slipjoint, automatic knives, daggers, machetes, bowies, razors and kitchen knives. Over the years, several trademarks were created and 22 patents held by the company and millions of pieces sold worldwide. Carl Schlieper was liquidated through bankruptcy in 1993. Production of the brand was subsequently taken over by Freidrich Olbertz in Solingen.

Introducing the new Model 451 full-tang fixed blade field knife, designed and made by Freeman Outdoor Gear LLC.

The CerakoteTM coated LSS PGK steel drop point blade features a main flat grind with a thick secondary swedge for maximum toughness and piercing ability.

The exposed pommel with jimping acts as a flat hammering surface and includes a lanyard attachment hole sized for the included 550 cord lanyard. 

The blade is heat treated and double tempered to a hardness of 59-61 Rc and the cutting edge is ground razor sharp at a 40 degree included angle (20 degrees per side).

The handle scales are CNC machined from tough G-10 or optional Canvas Micarta with milled grooves for a secure and comfortable grip. The handle shape provides an ergonomic and balanced grip for use in multiple positions. Enhanced parrot's beak pommel and lower front guard aid in blade retention during chopping. Stainless steel hardware locks all the components into place.

Included is a Spec-Ops Brand fabric sheath with thermoformed puncture-proof kydex lining.

This is a premium 100% US-made field knife designed to excel in multiple cutting chores under the most demanding conditions.

Note from Jeff: Before joining the US Army, I worked for 5 seasons as a wildland firefighter based out of Sweet Home, Oregon. While there, I battled scores of wildfires throughout Oregon and the Western United States with a very skilled, hard-working and dedicated group of young men and women. My crew's radio dispatch call sign was "451". 

I've named this knife family the "Model 451" in honor of those crew mates past and present that put it all on the line for the protection of our wildlands.

The Spartan-Breed Fighter/Dagger is our first collaboration with knife maker, writer, and retired Green Beret, MSG(R) Kim Breed. The Breed Fighter/Dagger was produced with the goal of creating a sturdy fighter in the spirit of our Special Operations Forces. Daggers have come to symbolize the elite of our military special operations units and agencies since the forming of the OSS. In that spirit, we worked with Kim to create a fighter/dagger that could be used while conducting missions on the modern battle field.
The blade allows for deep penetration, all while allowing the user to index the blade by touch and feel. The ergonomic and textured micarta handle is specifically designed with comfort and confidence in of grip.
Note: Double edge may be ordered with an unsharpened on top edge to comply with some state and/or local laws, please insure you follow the laws of your state and locality when ordering this knife.

Takeshi Saji was born in 1948 in Takefu (Fukui prefecture), a city located roughly in the center of Japan and in the heart of an area for centuries devoted to the production of blades. His workshop is still there, built around the oven thanks to which, for several years now, Takeshi Saji has been forging steel (especially damascus) with which he makes various models of traditional Japanese knives. The choice of materials for the finishes (mainly natural), the essential lines - evocative of use - and the chromatic combinations of rare impact make his creations unique and unmistakable in the panorama of world cutlery and, at home, they have earned him the prestigious title of Master.
