## Description

Zero Tolerance’s 0770CF is an inspired design from the award winning ZT 0777. The 0770CF offers the style and performance of the 0777, in a slightly smaller, more streamlined frame. The 0770CF’s blade is made of high-performance Crucible S35VN powdered steel, known for its excellent edge retention, toughness and wear and chip resistance. A stonewash finish is easy to maintain and helps hide hard-use scratches for a rugged non-reflective appearance. The sweeping lines of the original 0777 are preserved in an extremely lightweight carbon fiber handle, with a secure and comfortable in-hand feel. Kershaw’s award winning SpeedSafe assisted opening system uses a torsion bar to move the blade out of the handle quickly and easily for smooth, one-handed operation. For the final touches, Zero Tolerance added an inset liner lock to secure the blade safely open during use, a user-adjustable, reversible, deep-carry pocketclip and a handsome oversized pivot to best the 0770CF’s distinct build.

Review: Excellent Knife - I just bought the 0770CF, feeling that it might be nice to move up the knife ladder. I've had Buck, Swiss Army, and Case knives. All were very nice. Then I tried a Kershaw Leek (love it, except it is right-hand carry only), a Kershaw Cryo ll (just too big and heavy, but works for us lefties), and finally a Cryo original (very nice but the Chinese steel didn't hold an edge for long). So I was looking at the new ZT 0357, but discovered the 0770CF was only about $9 more on desertcart. No brainer! Great knife. Feels perfect in my hand, works for righties and lefties, very sharp with very good steel, and it looks great. Not heavy at all. So far it is worth the much higher price point (4X and then some the cost of the Cryo). My only quibble, and since the knife is new I am assuming it is not broken in yet, is the stiff assisted open. The Leek is light and easy, the Cryo is not quite as light but still really easy to flick open (the Cryo ll is tight). It takes some effort to get the 0770CF to open, and it seems the angle of your finger is also important. I applied some Kershaw oil to the swivel, and I've been working the action. Hopefully it will loosen up a bit. Other than that, I'm very happy with the purchase. Edit: It has loosened up some., I've had it apart a couple of times, greasing it (I tried both Kershaw knife oil and Nano oil, found I preferred the Kershaw oil). I also found that playing with the tension of the pivot screws made a difference. The knife is super sharp, the blade glides through cardboard. Edit 2. Can't get the blade centered and also have a smooth movement. If the blade is really off-center, smooth as silk action. Called KAI and they said to send it back for adjustment. Great customer service. This is really a great knife, don't let this color your decision to get one.
Review: BEST EDC KNIFE! - I bought this knife and have carried it for a couple years now. I was a little on the fence about the Elmax blade material at first because I had heard mixed reviews. Let me put this one to bed. I have had ZERO issues with the blade metal, and I USE my knives. No! I am not out batoning my EDC folding knife. It has cut plenty of cardboard, plastic, wood, and sometimes me. 🤣 I have had no problem with the blade chipping or breaking. It does hold an edge through some sustained cardboard and wood cutting. The blade does take a little bit more to sharpen when it finally does lose a bit of its edge. But once I get it sharpened up again, I can go months without touching it. Now for the rest of this excellent knife! The carbon fiber handles are legit carbon fiber, not some sticker on nylon. The carbon fiber is very light and has held up great under daily use cutting and some prying. There isn’t any loosening of the blade in the handle, or wobble. The pocket clip is reversible. It carries very low. The clip has no crazy duck bill sticking out too far, and it is large enough to fit over thicker pockets. Overall this is a very high quality, durable EDC knife. It has great blade material. It is VERY light weight and strong. I love it is quality made in the USA with a Semi custom quality level. This is a very high quality knife for the money. I would highly recommend ZERO TOLERANCE after having used this one for a while.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The description says imported? i thought all zt knives were made in usa?**
A: Made in Seattle, Washington, I think the ELMAX steel is special and some of it may of been imported. It says Made in USA on blade.   Its my favorite EDC knife.

**Q: Does it have elmax blade**
A: No, it comes with a S35VN blade.

**Q: I'm always fascinated by amazon items that fail to provide basic specs.  can a buyer please confirm: overall length:7.50" blade material:cpm-s35vn ?**
A: Overall length is exactly 7.5". The steel is S35vn. This is the finest piece of steel I've purchased in years. Much higher quality than recent Benchmade, SOG or Kershaw knives I've bought.

**Q: What is the handle thickness??**
A: It's 10.3 mm thick.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Truly a great knife!
*by J***D on November 24, 2014*

Wow, Just Wow! I don't give 5 stars often but it's necessary here. My first foray into ZT knives and I have to say that as a long time pocket knife enthusiast, this is orders of magnitude better than my previous blades. I every-day-carried (EDC) a Spyderco Delica from the 1980's and it had fairly soft steel and the serrated edge was a pain to sharpen. Woe unto the internet traveler who stumbles upon some of the EDC pages on Facebook. It's clearly a gateway drug to higher dollar online spending, when you start to see the candy some folks have. As for the knife, Let me start with the scales. I never messed around with carbon fiber anything in the past till this knife and I have to say it's quite beautiful. Truly worthy of a gentlemans folder. Add to that, the innate lightness of the CF and you get a very light, fairly large package. My hands are medium to large sized and this fits quite nicely into my grip. The modified wharncliff blade is well designed and handles my every day cutting tasks with no problems. Nice work on the bead blasted blade, as it hides a myriad of scratches the occur to shiny blades. As a sharpening geek, I was very impressed with the steel. It takes a great edge on my ceramic stones and probably won't need tuning up for quite some time. Even the hinge hardware is classy and it gives the knife the finishing touch it deserves. I've read online about other ZT enthusiasts dissing this blade for it's 'diminutive' size. The blades they're carrying must be massive, as this one is pretty darn big. My last kudo is for the assisted opening. I can see where it might appear to jump out of your hand but with the proper grip, it's a no brainer and deploys like a champ every time. Who knows, I may wear out the mechanism opening it as many times as I do.
