Kershaw Tilt...again.

Am I missing something here? What is so special about these? Design wise I find them to be quite hideous looking :(

You can't really appreciate how great the tilt is until you hold it in your hand! The deployment is so smooth that nothing compares. It's a big knife yet surprisingly light. The blade is like a laser beam and locks up great. They even designed it so the lockbar is impossible to over extend due to the angle of the lockbar.

The only thing that I can say bad about the knife is I wish the carbon fiber wasn't so smooth and was a woven like texture like the sage 1. But that's just a preference.
 
Sigh......everyday I come to look at this thread and see the new developments. It makes me depressed because I probably will never get a tilt, and yet, when the first run was out, I passed up the opportunity to get one.
 
Think I forgot to mention this throughout this thread, but for those interested, final Rc on the Tilt: Vanax75 = 62 Rc +/-1
 
Just got the email from BladeHQ that my pre-order has been fulfilled! Now I have a stonewashed version to go with the DLC version :D

Hi Thomas -

I am finding the vanax75 is very durable - I used the Tilt to make some "throwing sticks" for my two granddaughters, which requires some light chopping on "finger sized" sticks, and then chopping the side-branches off of the sticks.

I have not had to re-sharpen this knife since I received it. I initially sharpened it up (I am a knife guy, it did not necessarily need it, but you know...) and it has stayed sharp through my uses.

Just another reason to love this knife.

best

I got a Black dlc coated tilt as I traded one for a M390 military and MY GOD ITS SWEET! Haven't regret it for a second.
 
Just wondering if all the stock has been shipped to dealers? I talked to my local knife store today and they said that they had put an order in for several of the knives but never received any, is there still a chance that they might receive some?
