Rivery MFG Zero V2 Utility Knife, Grenade Pattern, Cerakote Polar Ice, 6061 Aluminum - Made in USA (RIV-ZERO-V2-GREN-POLARICE)

The Zero V2 in Grenade texture under a Polar Ice 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 Grenade milling pattern finished in Polar Ice Cerakote.

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.

A Light Color on a Deep Texture

Polar Ice is near white, which is unusual on a tool and does something specific on the Grenade pattern. Light finishes throw shadow into milled recesses instead of swallowing it, so the texture reads harder than it does on a dark body.

The honest trade is that a pale finish on a work tool shows what it has been through. Some people want that and some people will want the black.

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.
