Great pics.

I wonder what the purpose was of using 154CM for the body of the blade though? You'd think they'd use something cheap and tough since it doesn't actually serve as a cutting edge.

The Tyrade was the first use of this technology and Kershaw wanted it to be high end showcase of it. Regular production knives are using more economical steels for the spines (see the Composite Blade Leek and Junk Yard Dog 2.2).

That makes sense. Its a very interesting concept. I remember a few custom makers dong similar things a few years back (unfortunately can't remember who it was or where I saw it though).
