This is the V2 in the Original pattern, cut from solid brass rather than aluminum. It takes standard replaceable utility blades and runs on a key-and-spring slide with a crisp click and clack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's new in the V2\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRivery redesigned the blade holder with a wider angle so it accepts a larger range of SK5 blade brands, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Zero V2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMilling Pattern: Original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Solid brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade: Standard replaceable utility blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanism: Retractable slide, key and spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed Length: 68mm (2.68\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen Length: 88mm (3.46\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLanyard Hole: Yes, lanyard not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of Origin: Made in USA (Sevierville, Tennessee)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: RIV-ZERO-V2-ORIG-BRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy brass\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrass is the reason to pick this one over the aluminum versions. It is heavier in the pocket, which changes how the slide feels, and it patinas with handling rather than staying the same.
