Zero Tolerance 0562ti - One Year Review

This is my long term review of what I consider to be the best ZT knife available today. It fits the bill as a medium size knife with everyday, heavy use in mind. Impeccably designed and built to last, I would highly recommend this to any new or seasoned knifenut out there.

Great vid, I know I’m late to the 0562ti party but I just pulled the trigger on one. Thanks

[@polecat1337]

loved the review. ordered mine today, thanks!

[@these7seas]

Awesome, you won't regret it! My favorite ZT of all time!

[@greggoode3450]

Great review. I look for the same things in knives that you do So I just ordered one. Thanks!

[@jamesreese7111]

one of my all time favorites. USA made blades sells theese with custom etched and annodized scales. I wouldn't worry about rust in the pivot as long as you oil your pivot 2 or 3 times a year bare minimum. It's definitely over built. Great video!

awesome review

[@markyadegar8830]

Great review, thanks, just waiting for mine to arrive!

[@these7seas]

Much appreciated!

Great review. The 0470 was a huge surprise for me. Bought it on a whim and it's my overall favorite ZT I've had and is a staple in my top 5 knives. Worth checking out if you haven't tried one before.

[@these7seas]

Thanks for putting it on my radar!

The stainless bearings also wear grooves in the titanium scales. For less than $25 you can add multi-row ceramic bearings with washers that fix any bearing issues on this knife. I got mine from Taco Bearings.

Wonder compared to th A10 , was going for this my A10 is a beast though.. might still grape that . Good review thanks

The carbon fiber model is my preferred model. There are so many really cool scales available for it that are textured for a better grip. I'm ordering a textured carbon fiber scale to improve the look and traction. Also, the clip gets beat up pretty quickly, so upgrading the hardware and clip to titanium is also a great option. Great knife

my hand has been completely soaked in blood while skinning a deer with this titanium version and I had zero problems with slipping. It wasn't my knife I was using at the time - but I wound up getting the titanium recently after seeing it prove itself in the field. I think we too often make too much out of the grips (unless the knife grips are basically flat) but I only know what I have personally seen.

[@theknifewhisperer5667]

I've alway's wanted this Knife. Just always got something else. I had the 0562CF. But all TI is way better! Haha! Great job!

[@these7seas]

Thank you! Yes I had the cf as well but the ti really take this to the next level!!

@@these7seas maybe after the Holidays we can do a Knife swap for content. I can send ya my Reate Crossroads or Reate Iron. I also have a couple Custom Knife factorys.

You've had it for a year and the clip looks new.

[@jt7966]

Whats your experience with bearing wearing off titanium?

[@these7seas]

Not much, usually they have steel racing interfacing between the titanium and the bearing but from wha five heard, titanium is softer than steel or ceramic so will tend to wear into them over time.

[@mastodonxrp5314]

@@these7seas I can confirm that titanium is softer than steel. The company I work for makes a model of downhole oil/gas well sensors that have a titanium pressure housing. The titanium will wear out with flat spots over time as the housing slides against the steel oil/gas well casing.

[@eurokid83]

There’s steel shims between the bearings and the titanium. No wear.

[@vybtom1]

I heard it will wear in a little bit, but then it will stop, because the titanium will get compressed, so it will become harder

So no comment about the cosmetic thumb studs? I am a thump stud kind of guy and was quite disappointed they are some bizarre cosmetic stickon. I even caught you reaching for them early in the vid and then going for the rear flipper tab.

[@antonssergejevs3205]

Those are for stopping a blade, kind of like an umnumzaan has

[@vybtom1]

Those are not thumb studs, not even any cosmetic thumb studs. Those are over travel stops, they ensure the blade can't move further when you open it. It's a pretty good solution because it also helps with side to side blade play since they are on both sides. The stop pin on this knife actually only stops the blade from going further when closed, it doesn't touch it when opened. If you're a thumb stud kind of guy, this is not a knife for you. This is for flipper kind of guys.

[@Mike-hn4uu]

Just bought mine for $300. I was tempted to buy the new tan scaled one thats a little bigger but this one just seems like a classic. You think I made the right decision? I also have the 0350 which I absolutely love. Always been partial to ZT
