This iteration of the popular "first generation" Zings was designed by RJ Martin.

What's different? First of all, this Zing is all stainless steel, from pointy tip to handle butt. Just smooth, sleek, bead-blasted steel all the way down. The blade is high-quality 8CR13MoV stainless steel, heat-treated to Kershaw specifications to bring out the very best in the steel—strength, hardness, and the ability to take and hold a wicked edge. The modified drop-point blade offers superior slicing and utility capabilities.

To give this Zing even more, well, zing, Kershaw has added SpeedSafe assisted opening. Just pull back on the ambidextrous flipper and the blade moves out of the handle, quickly and easily. You can also access Zing's SpeedSafe feature with a simple push on the thumb stud. Either way, your Zing is ready to go quickly and easily.
As a frame lock knife, the Zing SS is slimmer than the previous liner lock Zings and rides even more comfortably in your pocket. The handle is drilled so that you can position the pocket clip for either tip-up or tip-down. And, of course, there's a handy lanyard hole. The Zing SS is a value-priced, everyday carrying knife with a clean look and lots of style.
