Hi, i have a cold steel tilite, and i love the knife, ever since i was very young watching old movies i fell in love with the stiletto design, cold steel certianly delivered, this knife has great lockup and no blade play, it does however in the closed position have a gap between the liner and the zytel handle, and im worried my liner might be "mis shaped" or have signs of early wear, the knife functions fine and some other tilites online have similar gaps and the other one i looked at the shop had the same deal, any input would be very appreciated, i know im in love with a knife when i worry about little details, but if you could take a look and tell me your opinion, that would be most appreciated http://imgur.com/Q41IzjP

I don't have a Tilite in front of me, but I would say that is perfectly normal. The liner is positioned against the blade, and away from the scale, so that the detent ball will be engaged to hold the blade closed.
