Just like the title says, Is there going to be, or could there be a second run of the Tilts,,i am sure they would sell,Once the word spread,.. Youtube forums, facebook.. perhaps if enough were pre-ordered it might be worthwhile since the technology and plans already exist to re-produce the amazing blade named "TILT" I speak for myself I can not just spend $100, $200, $250+ above and beyond on the secondary market compared to the price i paid when it was new
 
As awesome as they are and as bad as I want one, I personally don't think they should make anymore of them. While it is a great knife, I feel like part of the mystique is it's elusiveness. I do think it is time for Kershaw to come out with something just as bad a$$ as the Tilt though.
 
Pretty sure when Thomas was still here, he stated the Tilts that were made are the first and last to be produced. Period. No variants or cheaper more affordable versions with the design will not be made either. I understand where you are coming from though.
 
They won't make more. It is a great knife made for knife nuts like us. I think of it as a gift from Kershaw. "Here is a freaking awesome knife for you all, enjoy it."
 
They did do a second run of Tilts, it was the stonewashed version.

I thought I read Thomas saying they had some Vanax 75 stached away for a rainy day, I'm still hoping they put it in some other aggressive knife.
 
I doubt they will, but I hope they do....I will be sending my order in right away if they do, if they don't I will probably chase one for a few years until I get one.
 
No! no Tilt for you lol... Would be cool if they made a smaller one like the ZT0777 and the ZT0770
 
I think that the Tilt is Kershaw's giant middle finger to the rest of the knife world and the more times you flip the bird the less meaningful it is. On a serious note I love my Tilt and if you really want one just save up some extra money and keep an eye out here on the forum.
 
I would prefer that they not make any more TiLT's.

I am on a "Limited Edition" Kershaw run lately...............TiLT, ZDP-189 Shallots ( 2 of 'em ), Damascus Leek and Shallot, Volt 3600 ( on its way ).........still looking for Ti/ZDP Leek, S110V Shallot, Speedform, and others............but as much as I hate the high prices, I enjoy the hunt....searching through posts to see who has sold, or bought one, checking ebay or the for sale forums daily ( or hourly ), and then finally, after gasping like a carp outta water at the ludicrously high price, opening that package and seeing my brand new baby, lovingly running it over the strop, and then slicing the shit outta some stuff. Doesn't get any better!!!

There are those in the forum that point out that Kershaw should/will strictly be the value branch of Kai moving forward. Im with you, there should be room for bad a$$ery in the Kershaw line like the Volt and Tilt.

People who own one love their exclusivity; isn't there only like 400 made? In time, it will be extremely difficult to get one if they dont make more. If thy do make more, it could be made in some other uber steel. So not having Vanax is a minor reason not to make it. They're not making it possibly for the mystique it benefits its owners. If I were Kershaw though I'd make more, its a great unique design... Make more money too.
 
That is why i said they could use ELMAX or s90v...something
