Kershaw Tilt...again.

I'm sure it will. Dave ships by ninja courier; it just says USPS to maintain secrecy. Those ninjas are sneaky and lightning-fast -- one second it'll be in Oregon, the next it'll be in your mailbox. :D

+1 on Dave's ninja-mailing skills. I emailed him, asking if he had certain knives in stock, and he replied that he did. I got a 'Your package is on its way' USPS email from him before I got a 'payment sent' email from paypal.

Funny thing, as I was typing that the whole time I was thinking about buying from Dave in the past, and how incredibly fast it went out and arrived even with it being USPS. Now, I know it's really just ninjas, makes sense.
 
Yep, I ordered a blem from him on tuesday afternoon and it is currently sitting in my mailbox. The only other person that ships about as fast as Dave is Roger @ Knifeworks. Can't wait til you get more Tilts Dave! And thanks for the fast shipping on the JYD II!~
 
Wow, what a knife! I love this thing, it's SO light! I'm doing the happy dance right now.
 
Serial #99 has landed in my hands. The knife is pure awesome. The Vanax 75 blade is ridiculously sharp! The whole knife is crazy light, especially when you consider its size. The clip didn't feel good in the tip down position, but feels really good in the tip up position. Love the lockbar cut on the bias like on the Speedform. This is one of my favorite features and still think that it's ingenious and should be used on more framelocks. Finally, the KVT bearings make the Tilt flip so smoothly. The smoothness of opening and closing rivals my custom and mid-tech IKBS and bearing pivot folders.

Kershaw, you really did a great job on this one and I'm hoping that my other preorders come through for me. Dave, you are the man and your shipping speed is nothing less than phenomenal.

Holding this and feeling the smoothness of the KVT pivot really is making my mouth water for the ZT 0561 I have on preorder.

On the one hand, I'm totally jealous that you already got your Tilt. On the other, those are some great pics and will help tide me over until I get the magical email from kershawguy saying he's reached my spot on the list. Thanks!

Thank god the ninja couriers held off the alligators long enough to land my Tilt safely in my mailbox.

So you're happy with your purchase?
 
My Tilt came today, courtesy of KershawGuy. Despite a really long thread on the Tilt, which I might have thought would reveal everything, it's different (and better) than I expected. VERY light with skelotonized titanium on the frame lock side. Flips open nicely. The design is like a futuristic "Needs Work" and a bit unlike any other Kershaw.

Thomas, since you're asking, I'm not a big fan of coated blades and still like the look of the blade in the early prototype pictures. But I am very impressed with the size vs weight ratio you guys were able to achieve. And the KVT pivot action is to die for. I'm curious about the liner underneath the CF scale. Is that steel or Ti?
