The Zero Utility Knife
Born in Sevierville, Tennessee, the Zero Utility Knife embodies American craftsmanship and mechanical ingenuity. Designed by engineer Michael Sayers of Rivery Manufacturing, it reimagines the everyday utility knife with a seamless, screwless body and an addictive slide mechanism that feels like pure precision at work. Crafted in the USA with uncompromising attention to detail, the Zero Utility Knife is where innovation meets design.
I have an original Zero and purchased the new Zero G. I’ll just copy and paste what I texted my wife after it arrived:
I can see he’s really refined the design. A lot of little details show he’s worked hard to improve it.
More blade exposed (YES!) and the front is angled which enables more natural cuts that aren’t just at a 90 degree angle when cutting “to the hilt”.
Double the magnets, gives the action a lot more “pop”, feels much better and I didn’t have complaints before.
The holder mechanism is fully enclosed and flush with the base, so it’s less likely to be accidentally manipulated and it looks and feels cleaner. But it didn’t add any thickness. Chefs kiss.
Flush Pocket clip design is a patent in and of itself. No need to futz with a lanyard unless you want to.
And the extra length does make it easier to use.
$125 vs $70 worth it? You can go and buy a fully usable box cutter for $8 at Home Depot, so if you’re already spending $70 on a box cutter, clearly you are a box cutter enthusiast and therefore the extra $55 is immaterial 😂
I was a little disappointed in the way you open the blade. not the way Ipictured it and for the money somewhat overpriced. But I appreciate the discount and I'm sure I'll get used to opening it
This is the end all be all utility knife and it’s function is so damn fidgety…light weight, tool free blade changes, perfect size, and that disappearing pocket clip is genius as well. Rivery MFG ftw!
