I thought I was seeing wrong when I saw BladeHQ selling the ZT 0850 for $229. That's a huge price drop!

The Zero Tolerance 0850 is a Dmitry Sinkevich/Todd Rexford collaboration based on a custom piece the two knifemakers built in 2016. This production version of the design boasts a CPM-20CV stainless steel blade with a two-tone stonewash/satin finish and decorative aluminum thumb studs. To reduce weight, ZT added a Sub-Frame Lock with a hardened steel insert to the 0850's stunning blue tinted carbon fiber composite handle. The knife comes fitted with a custom machined titanium pocket clip with a bead-blasted finish.
I briefly considered getting an 0850 but, for $320 I couldn't get past the cheesy revolver/six shooter design theme of the pivot, thumb studs and back spacer. I ended-up getting something else instead.
