Whoa, whoa, whoa... I've been paying just as much attention to this thread as DrOpPoInT1110 and really appreciate the updates. I've already got one of these paid for so my anticiaption level is very high. I'll fill DrOpPoInT's shoes right now. More pics! More updates! When!?
(No offense to you DrOpPoInT. I would be asking for all this too, but you usually beat me to the punch.)

As Tony said, yes the lock is cut on a bias.

I just love pics from the fabrication process! To see how much work/love that is put into the blades make me appreciate the finished product even more... Keep the pictures coming Thomas, they keep me from migrating over to the crazy and craving ZT/hinderer-flipper crowd

Damn! Nice shots of the lock being cut:thumbup: Thanks Thomas. I've been working on some designs and have to do mine with a Dremel and a cutting wheel!
Can I come by the factory and use the machinery for a few hours??
Love seeing some progress on the Tilt, one of the sexiest blades I've seen in a long time for sure!! Keep it up buddy!

That's pretty cool idea, I hope that Lloyd got a raise for that!

Im here...or back I should say. Just got home from a mission trip (installing sinks and showers in one of he poorer towns) in Nicaragua last night. Great to come home to see the good news...thanks very much Thomas! Oh, and thanks for jumping in Tony. No offense taken at all. If im not around to bug Thomas, its good to know you have my back.

requires no hardware to prevent over extension. I like it. Clean and simple.
I just thought this wouldn't be feasible to mass produce, it's deffinatly a machining challenge to mass produce. I didn't see a diagonal cut being realistic when working with waterjets, plasma cutters, and CNC machines. I'm glade to see that Kershaw has great machinists like Lloyd that can problem solve and push the industry to get the challenging items done.
Props to Lloyd.
