The Zero Tolerance 452CF is a very beautiful carbon fiber folder pocket knife with a decent size. With a blade length of 10.4 cm and a total length of 23.4 cm, this is a knife that people with big hands will enjoy. Designed by the acclaimed custom knife maker Dmitry Sinkevich, the 452CF combines elegance and functionality.

Initially, he designed the limited edition 454 for Zero Tolerance, a very popular model soon discontinued. This carbon fiber folder has the same dimensions as the 454, but with different materials for the handle and blade finish. 

Pros:

• Features CPM-S35VN blade steel, known for its durability, corrosion resistance, and edge retention, ensuring long-lasting performance.
• The use of carbon fiber and titanium on the handle, combined with the stonewashed finish, provides a premium look and feel.
• The KVT ball-bearing opening system allows for quick and easy one-handed deployment of the blade.
• The reversible deep-carry clip offers flexibility in how the knife can be carried, making it suitable for both left and right-handed users.

Cons:

While the knife’s size is great for those with larger hands, it might be too big for people who prefer compact, everyday carry knives.
