Kershaw Tilt Lockrock

[bunnywunny1]

I recieved my Stonewashed Tilt on Friday and now I can see what all the hype is about. I absolutely love everything about this knife. If you have a chance to get one do not hesitate, this is a home run from Kershaw!

One thing that does concern me is that my tilt already has a tiny bit of up down play. As you can see in the pictures the lockbar is already seated on the radius portion of the tang which is causing a tiny bit of lock rock. I was planning on using this knife, and I can live with the tiny bit of blade play but my concern is that if it develops bad blade play Kershaw won't be able to replace it due to the fact it's a limited run.

Any advice - should I be worried?

You shouldn't have any front to back blade play. Given that it has a titanium frame, I don't think it should get any worse. But if you're thinking that you may want to send it in, probably better sooner than later. Not sure if they'll have any spare replacement parts, but if they do, it will be only a few so they may not last.
