Most people have probably not gotten a chance to see Kershaw's current flagship knives together so I thought I'd throw these together.

In order top to bottom or left to right - TiSG2 JYD II, Tyrade, ZT 0301, G10 Offset, and the Spec Bump.

I'm likely missing knives that others will consider flagships, so feel free to PM me and i'll get an address to you where you can ship the missing knives. ;)
 
once again beautiful pics KD. i must admit, I am a bit surprised by the size of the Tyrade in those pics. It looks to be about the same size as the JYD2 right above it. that ZT is awsome.

just my two cents, but here is why i think you picked the best for the flagship knives

Ti/SG2 JYD2 = Simple and elegant. High quality materials and build. Shows just what Kershaw can do.

Tyrade = Technology showpiece, while also being effective in its job. Simply one of Kershaws best looking knives. Shows what Kershaw will be able to do in the future.

ZT 0301 = A brute of a knife. One of Kershaws best knives. Simple, rugged. Made with tough materials (S30V blade i do believe). Bargain for the money.

G-10 Offset = A knife that has more uses than its blade shape tells. Innovative still with the stud lock. Soon to be with a better blade steel, thus adding to the innovation.

Spec bump = Innovative again in the use of the stud lock. Back bone to Kershaw's recurve knives.
 
Nice pics!

I don't know if it's been asked before, but what camera are you using? Again, darn nice pics!
 
Nice pictures!
Hell, I thought that my Spec Bump is a big knife, but it looks like a toothpick in this comparison:)

I don't see a lock preventing accidental opening on other knives, that's strange. I'd say it's a must for a A/O knife, and the spec bump has this feature nicely implemented. Kershaw Leek I've seen has it too, though it's a different principle. So these JYD II, Tyrade, Offset - they don't have this on/off feature or what?

Thanks
 
Elarski, for the the quickie straightforward stuff like this and the more basic close ups, I've been using a Nikon Coolpix P5100. For the more complicated stuff I've been using an older Nikon D70 with a 55 micro or bellows and a longer lens.

No safety on the ZT 0301, Tyrade, or Offset. I haven't had any issues where they opened unexpectedly.
The JYD II is a manual flipper, no speedsafe, no safety really necessary.
