2 affordable award winners at blade 2010 CRKT Eros 2 & Kershaw tilt

[scotchleaf]

Columbia River Ken Onion Eros 2 - really nice knife, very light but flips open easily. Kinda a "super leek"

Loved the Kershaw Tilt - A gent's version of the Needs work:

the tilt kind of reminds me of a needs work, i am diggin it already!

Those both look awesome, but I don't think I'd call the Tilt "affordable" just yet. Last I saw, the MSRP was supposed to be $350.

Both very nice. So then Ken Onion is no longer with Kershaw?

I like that Tilt! Anyone have specs or more pictures?

Nope, he's been working with CRKT for awhile now, not sure how long. I know this is his third design for them to be released, after the Ripple and Ripple 2.

Just noticed the "2" part of the Eros 2 name. I don't remember ever seeing a first Eros announced or released. Anyone have any info on that?

it could be a size thing, maybe there is a 1 and 2 and there is a size difference.

Those two knives look amazing! I am suprised that the "Tilt" cost a whopping 350$ MSRP! its weird how that knife sneaked itself to the affordable category hehe.

Thanks for sharing! :thumbup:

Just saw on another Blade Show news post somewhere that Kershaw changed the MSRP on the Tilt to $250 ($350 was an educated guess posted by Thomas W. on another forum before the show). If true, that's a little closer to affordable, but still not in the same price range as that Eros 2 is going to be.

Still, having missed out on the Volt and probably being outta luck on the Speedform, I'll be keeping my eye on when pre-orders for that baby start.

well that is also MSRP, street price should be lower :thumbup:

The Tilt will have an MSRP of $350

Woah! Im loving the Eros! That looks really promising! Hope to get my hands on one when it comes out. The Tilt looks classy too. I think ill stick with the Needs Work if the price tag is really 350...

The Need's Work is not in the Tilt's league.

Thanks for clearing that up. I was hoping the blog I read was right, being posted from the show and all, but should've known you'd know better.

Still, for $350, from everything I've seen and heard about that knife, it should be worth picking up by far.
