Rivery MFG Zero V2 Utility Knife, Agent Newton Pattern, Cerakote Crushed Orchid, 6061 Aluminum - Made in USA (RIV-ZERO-V2-AGENTNEWTON-ORCHID)

The Zero V2 in Agent Newton texture under a Crushed Orchid Cerakote.

The Zero is Rivery MFG's screwless retractable utility knife, designed by engineer Michael Sayers and machined in Sevierville, Tennessee. This is the V2, in the Agent Newton milling pattern with a Crushed Orchid Cerakote finish. It takes standard replaceable utility blades and runs on a key and spring slide with a crisp click and clack.

What's new in the V2

Rivery redesigned the blade holder with a wider angle, added a wing to the carriage, and reworked the bearing surface to be simple and user serviceable. Most V2 parts drop into a Gen 1 body, with one exception: the winged carriage is V2 only.

Cerakote Against Anodize

Most of the Zero line is satin anodized, which goes into the aluminum. Cerakote is a ceramic coating sprayed on and baked, which means it sits on top and comes out opaque rather than translucent.

That is why the Cerakote colors read as solid and saturated where the anodized ones read as tinted metal. Crushed Orchid is not a color aluminum will anodize to, which is the whole reason this version exists.

The action

The Zero is built around feel. A weighted internal key and firm spring give it a deliberate slide with a satisfying click and clack on every cycle, in a seamless, screwless body that carries small and flat.

Blades it takes

The Zero uses common trapezoid utility blades, including Stanley, Milwaukee, Dewalt Carbide, Titan, and standard SK5 blades. Fiskars and ceramic blades are not compatible.

Made in Tennessee

Every Zero is machined and assembled in East Tennessee. A small American shop reworking a tool most people overlook, done with real precision, is exactly what we like carrying.
