My MOP Kopa is my EDC. It was a gift from my wife for our 20'th anniversary. I carry it in a small sheath to keep its clip from scratching up my cell phone, which I carry in the same pocket. That has the effect of keeping the knife from getting scratched up too. No, I've never heard of beausage. Bes...

Diamonds are a camper's best friend
I think Tricod is on the right track. DMT makes good stuff. A lighter, cheaper, alternative is something like: http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_43732?cm_mmc=froogle-_-400-13-6-_--1-_-38-477-443-00&hvarAID=froogle&mr:trackingCode=B207FCE1-FD74-DC11-BE2A-...

That was engraved by Fred Carter of Wichita Falls, TX. There are photos of some other :spyder: he has engraved if you search through the Forum. Jurphaas has a Kopa and a couple of Crickets engraved by Fred that were inspirational for my wife and I in deciding on this as an anniversary present. Fred ...

EDC Kopa
The engraved Kopa my wife gave me for our anniversary is my EDC. I was a little worried about scratching it up, but a few scratches over the next 20 years will just give it some more character for when I pass it along to a grandson or granddaughter. I am more worried about it scratching up my cell p...

"Sleepingrobot" came about when trying to come up with a domain name. It came out of a session of nonsensical name parings with the family. The other leading candidate from that session was yuckyoatmeal.com (which is still available, have at it!). My wife and I got a good laugh but the kid...

I think you will be safe with Kopa. Sadly, no. My Kopa spydie-drops better than my Native, because of the extra mass in the liners and the smoothness of the action. But it looks less threatening ( http://spyderco.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26507) . Of course, if security at a baseball game wants t...

Methodology - what tasks, what measures?
What I would really like to talk about in this thread is the question: If there is going to be a study to compare the blade steels, what should be be measurements for comparison? I was thinking that some of the things mentioned in http://www.cutleryscience.com/reviews/blade_testing.html would be goo...

Sal could just leave a few mules un-stamped for the people committed to blind tests--those could be marked in code with paint, sharpie, engraver, etc. Works for me. Not sure if Sal will want the complication of getting the right number of stamped vs. unstamped blades, but that's one possibility. Th...

Let Sal provide the knives, and let people who want to run a study take it from there. Oh, I see what you're saying. Normally the subjects don't run the study. The experimenter does. My impression is that Spyderco is contemplating an experiment, with us forumites as subjects in that study. You're s...

a lack of ambition...
Any time you ask questions with highly subjective answers, you absolutely must run a "blind experiment," where the subjects (in this case, the forumites) don't know what's what. Trust me, voice of experience. Bolstermaniac is correct, IF you are trying to obtain certain levels of confiden...

Congrats
Congrats to OutofGum!
On the subject of bagels - back in college a friend of mine turned up with a bandaid on his left index finger. "What happened Eric?" I ask. His roommate jumped in to say "He was slicing a bagel with his finger through the hole!". :eek:
Best regards,
Ron

Hi Ron, test results? What tests are you thinking of? Hi Sal, Sorry, the indention didn't come out in my message. I was thinking of the things mentioned after that line - the hardness, abrasion resistance, and toughness. Don't know if I will provide too much heat treat data. We will take what we ca...

ballpark pricing?
I'm interested, probably for individual sign-up instead of the series. Can you give some guidance on likely pricing? Are we talking $25-$50 each? Less? More?
Thanks,
Ron
