BLADE Show 2026 Winner: American-Made Folding Knife of the Year
Created to mark 20 years of ZT, the Limited Edition 0020 is a study in precision, design, and elevated materials. Its slim, seamless profile is defined by a 3D-machined titanium handle with a deep gray PVD finish, concealing its construction for a clean, uninterrupted show side. Equally impressive is its eye-catching blade shape and Vegas Forge Damascus. KVT ball-bearing washers and a custom thumb stud provide smooth action, while DuraLock ensures secure, confident operation. A blue-anodized titanium backspacer is engraved with anniversary text, and a Damascus pocketclip elevates the details even more. Purpose-built and meticulously executed, the 0020 stands as a modern collector’s piece.
