Zero Original Pattern – Pure, No-Fluff Utility
Minimalist on the outside, engineered for daily use on the inside. The Zero Original Pattern retains the uncompromising OTF design that made the Zero popular—but stripped back to its cleanest, most functional form.
Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply
It’s easy to overlook at first, but its understated design is deceptive. Slide it open once, and you’ll be hooked—the smooth, reliable action and compact profile make it truly addictive in hand.

These things are way too much fun to fidget with! Always have one on me for opening up packages and boxes at work. This is my third one. Love that there's so many variations in colorways!

This is my second fidgit-friendly Rivery Zero from Lone Star Knives. Chris is such a delight to work with, and I like the personal touches that Lone Star adds to their products. Hand-tied beads and lanyards, Shoutouts on YouTube, and the personalized note that accompanies your order. These little touches are what old-time customer service looks like. So if you want an American-made knife, maybe check out Lone Star first and give them a try.

This is my first time owning a utility knife, let alone a rivery zero. All I can say it is the most satisfying fidgety box cutter I’ve ever owned. smooth action and perfect as a secondary carry.

Love the Zero. The blue looks amazing, its light weight and fits perfectly in the watch pokect of my blue jeans.

Rivery has taken the place by storm, this is truly the best thing since zip-strips. The 'fidget-factor' is off the chart. The construction is impeccable, so very precise. Lone Star is a great place to shop, based on my one experience and communication exchange. They are upfront, no frills, no hidden language - just straight-forward 'we got something to sell _ you want to buy that something _ let's have a transaction.' I wasn't expecting the 'swag-basket' of extra 'stuff.' It's the little things that count . . .

Wow! This little thing is the coolest “knife” I’ve had in a while. If you are addicted to fidgety sharp things, you need this!

Amazing product Well made Thank you guys

Absolutely love this blade! It’s fast, smooth, fits in the pockets and hands perfectly. I’ve only had the Zero for about a month or two and it’s used everyday for small tasks that I don’t want to use my primary knife for. I highly recommend if you are looking for a great EDC utility knife. Comes out of the box crazy sharp and looks damn good. Will be buying something new in the future.

The zero is the perfect edc sidekick! Carry it alongside your knife as a secondary option, or just play with it! Personally, I bring mine with me on my fishing trips to cut my line!

Such an interesting way to carry a utility blade. Precisely machined, the blade does not touch the housing at all while it is deployed, everything fits tight, but still runs smooth. The lanyard that Chris put on is a great addition, easy to grab on to while carrying in 5th pocket, functional and looks cool.

It has become a big part of my EDC. Very easy to use very easy to change the blade in and work perfect every time.

Very good knife, but at 70.00 plus shipping I think it cost too much. In other words, it's overpriced. I won't be making another purchase.
