I carry this knife in my pocket daily for outdoor activities. It’s very light and fits perfectly in my jeans pocket. The exposed barrels give it a unique look and the thumb stud deployment is smooth and reliable. Great for fishing and small tasks.

The Zilch is compact and easy to carry. I use it for cutting fishing line and small repairs. The spine design feels solid and the blade stays sharp. A bit of a niche design, but it works well for EDC users.
