That's funny....the exact thing happened to me...I bought an orange PM2 last night to hold me over until my digicam PM2 comes back from sharpening and today I get an email from Kershawguy informing me my 0561 is shipping...broke...for all the right reasons :D

.38/.357, 9mm both fit perfectly. I like the .38/.357 though for the larger rim. It just looks better, and the .357 is just cooler :D

Here's a pic of the first one I made with a 9mm.

I was just measuring a 5.56 spent casing and it's very close to the factory stop, but I'd love to be able to fit a .308 shell-casing back in there.
 
I wonder what the production is like on these? I'm hoping by summer they'll be available, but I think that might be wishful thinking.
 
Finally! I'll post some pictures soon, but just wanted to say I have one in hand and its awesome! The only thing I have noticed after handling it for 2 days now (and this isn't a complaint, more of a curiosity) is... with all the milling and stock removal from the handles already there, going tiny bit farther and making the pocket clip inset would have been a great touch. Although I suppose that would have messed up the aesthetics of the knife for some people, so it is understandable. For me, I think having it set into the handle would make it look/feel better overall :)
 
In use, the 0551 is slightly smaller - also a SS liner under the G10. The Tilt is slightly larger - and has a Ti liner under the CF scale. Give the 0561 some time and use - it'll grow on you! Of course, I could have stopped with the 0551 and been happy... not to mention, less poor...

Just got notice that a particular vendor has the 0560 AND 561 in stock. They are a Great Provider of Knives so get them before the flippers do to mark them up and put them on the exchange next week for a large profit. Don't be that guy!

It looks like those days are possibly coming to an end. Kershaw seems to be getting alot of knives into the marketplace. Hopefully that will put an end to the ridiculously high secondary market pricing.
 
Thanks for the heads up...3 days late. It's whatever, I paid not too much extra($40 over including shipping). On the plus side(I'm an optimist) I paid a bit more for a knife I have seen already with prefect centering and 40% lockup. Should be here tomorrow or Friday at the latest it looks like. I can't wait to get it in my grubby little paws. I'm gonna flip it open so hard and so often Thomas W will puke.

Any idea about what angle edge bevel they are shipping with?
 
CRAP!!! I'm already having issues with my knife! It's out for delivery w/ signature confirmation and no one is home to get it! I'm so mad I could just change pants with a friend, pee in them, and trade them back. I feel so broken inside.

lol gpknives is on here, and now they're all gone lol
 
I got mine today. It's superb. I got mine NIB from the exchange and it's exactly as advertised. Around 40-50% lockup, perfect centering, and the detent is strong enough I cannot open it with my thumb at all. Not sure if the detent thing is good or bad, but I am sure it will wear down with use. I would like to be able to open it with my thumb.

And, it's very light for it's size like others have said, not so light it feels cheap or weak, but it still feels heavy enough to be used as a blunt force object if it comes to that kinda situation.

I can't say enough about the knife. Mine also came arm hair shaving sharp. I was a bit surprised by the thickness behind the edge as I heard one review say it was very thin behind the edge. It's not really very thin, but it still slices well.
