Kershaw Tilt...again.

Is this going to have a Vanax 75 edge? I noticed the prototype has "Vanax 35" etched on the blade. Just curious....can't lose either way.:thumbup:
 
Thomas, can the knife be wrist flicked open without touching the thumbstud or flipper, for the purposes of importing to Australia?

I assume even cranking the pivot up super tight doesn't make it harder to open, unlike a folder with washers?

Thanks,

Steve.

I've been wondering this as well. If it has a really strong detent then we should be ok, and that will make the flipper work better too.

Regardless, we'll just have to make a gamble on this one. If you press the issue maybe you can get a retailer to disassemble the knife, but I doubt too many shops would be willing to go that far for a legal concern.

Knifeworks have always been fantastic with these things, tightening pivots for me etc, maybe they would disassemble and ship in 2 packages hopefully it won't flick open and it won't e an issue.

Good point on the flipper working better with a strong detent.

We'll have to see once production is finished up. I'll let you know.
 
It baffles me that a country famous (in he U.S.)for the outback and ''thats not a knife'';has such strict knife laws.
 
Hey Thomas. When you get a chance, could you please shoot me an email as to which ditributors will be getting the Tilts (if you know yet). I had mine on preorder for over 9 months and was informed that they may not be getting any. Thanks.
 
Mmmmmm, more progression...
