Mini Knife, Max Impact: YSMART's Z3RO Redefines Everyday Carry with Carbon Fibre, Titanium, and Magnetic Precision

LONDON, Dec. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Z3RO, a new ultra-lightweight micro-knife, has launched on Kickstarter — and it's turning heads. Weighing just 11 grams and forged from premium materials like tungsten, carbon fibre, and titanium, Z3RO challenges everything people think they know about small tools.

Most micro-knives are forgettable. Z3RO is designed to be unforgettable.

A statement piece that cuts cleaner, faster, sharper

Built with a tungsten alloy cutter head — the same type used in surgical blades and industrial tools — Z3RO offers a level of cutting performance rarely found in gear this size. Rated at Mohs hardness of 9, the blade is harder than steel, more durable than ceramic, and tailored for real-life tasks like slicing tape, cords, tags, and zip ties.

The result? A razor-sharp cutter that feels more like a scalpel than a gadget.

Featherlight, but never flimsy

Where most small knives rely on plastic or aluminium to save weight, Z3RO goes premium. The body is crafted from woven carbon fibre, supported by a titanium backbone, offering durability without bulk. At just 5cm long and 11g light, it's nearly weightless in the pocket — but delivers a physical presence that stands apart from novelty tools.

Waterproof, rust-proof, and impact-resistant, this tool isn't just about style — it's made to last.

One-handed, one-second access

Instead of fiddly, awkward openings, Z3RO uses an internal neodymium magnetic release. One firm pull is all it takes — click, and it's ready to cut. The mechanism ensures zero wobble, zero delay, and total control, even when the other hand is busy.

It's the kind of innovation often seen in premium tech, not pocket tools.

A knife that looks like gear art

Z3RO blends modern design with functional details. The silhouette is minimal and clean, with textured carbon fibre and sleek titanium accents giving it a distinctly urban aesthetic. Colours like Stealth Black, Neo Blue (unlocked at a 30K Kickstarter stretch goal), and Volt Green (50K stretch goal) add personal style without sacrificing purpose.

It's less of a tool, more of a conversation piece — something noticed, admired, and remembered.

Designed for real-world use

Small gear often sacrifices strength for portability. Z3RO doesn't. The combination of carbon fibre and titanium gives it natural protection against moisture, sweat, corrosion, and impacts — a reliable addition to any EDC lineup, whether in the city or on the trail.

And thanks to the replaceable tungsten cutter head, the edge stays sharp for years. No sharpening required — just pop in a fresh blade in seconds, tool-free.

Built without compromise

Z3RO exists because everyday carry deserves better. Better materials. Better mechanics. Better design. It's not just an upgrade from standard keychain knives — it's a reinvention.

As the campaign gains traction on Kickstarter, Z3RO is already drawing attention from design enthusiasts, EDC collectors, and anyone who appreciates gear that delivers more than it promises.

Sometimes, less really is more — and Z3RO proves it.

Now live on Kickstarter

The Z3RO campaign is now live on Kickstarter with Early Bird discounts of up to 50% off. Backers can select from single units or bundle packs, with optional extra blade add-ons. Worldwide shipping is available, with fulfillment expected to begin in March 2026.
