Awesome photos. I haven't been this excited for a new Kershaw release in a long time. I think this and the new Hinderer will fight for EDC'ing.
 
Slap a blade in there and send 'er my way! The blade doesn't even have to be sharpened, I'll figure something out.
 
Looks really amazing Thomas.
Like the red work surface, really makes the pictures pop.

Some interesting other bits and pieces laying around. Anyone else recognize anything? :D

In the back, couple Ti framelocks trying to be hidden into obscurity with a random skyline liner + scale...

Regarding the KVT, is that housed only in the titanium scales? Because it looks like it would require a certain thickness, and that liner doesn't look like it would hold it.
 
Noctis, I was just wondering the same thing as well. I was envisioning a milled out space in the carbon fiber to house the KVT but the pivot hole in the Ti liner is too small for that. Maybe we'll just be getting a phosphor bronze bushing on the other side?
 
Droppoint. if you look at the blade, you'll see a recess carved into the side facing the Ti liner, so maybe one of the KVT is recessed into the Ti handle and recessed into the blade on the other side.
Thats just my assumption, for what its worth.

Thanks, I totally forgot about that. Thats probably how its going to be done...we'll see what Thomas says.

For everyone asking how well the bearings work, my G&G Hawk R.A.Z.R. has the identical bearings (should have taken pics last time I had it apart).

I put together a quick video on my iPhone to show how smooth it is.

The R.A.Z.R. doesn't have a flipper, but it opens incredibly smoothly.
One of the greatest things about the bearings is that there is is zero blade play in any direction, yet there is no resistance to rotation.

Wait wait wait, the liners are titanium? Really? Cuz that would be a bonus for me.
 
Kneedeep, thanks very much for that video! If the Tilt is in fact like that (which i'm sure it will be) it'll work amazingly well with that flipper. Have you found that that sort of pivot design needs more or less maitenance?
 
Dang it! I just can't get myself to like the titanium handle/G-10, CF handle style of knife. That is why I don't have the 0551. BUT, looking at the tilt just blows me away! This is an absolutely gorgeous knife. Kershaw has gone the extra yard it appears. Those mirror polished standoffs are built to insert into the handle material and this will really up the strength so that any back/forth movement is not going to happen. That's the extra yard I speak of. Looks like another thick spine blade, just like my Volt and Speedform, and I like it. I'm thinking I will have to go ahead and get one because it is just too much Kershaw to pass up. I just can't believe there are still Kershaw haters out there, not with cutting edge knives like this!!:thumbup::)
