Re: Rugby World Cup

I'm quietly anxious about this game. Would love an ABs win but the Aussies have had a much better lead up in tapering their form with hard fought matches, whereas the Blacks have had a much 'easier' road.
If they can get stability then we can be cheering !

Re: Rugby World Cup

Go All Blacks !!!

Old hard enemies South Africa are next up. Fairly easy run for the ABs yet again - it has been their undoing in previous Cups. Let's hope that it is a good game and they win :)

I would love an Aussie vs Kiwi final - a second Bledisloe/ Anzac final would be tops !!!

Re: Spyderco ethnic series

Maybe time for Roman to do some wooden scales on the Shabaria ? :D

My favourite Ethnic series EDC would be the C83 Persian followed by the Mini Persian

Re: So 2009.... My Kopa Collection is finally complete!!

Thanks for the kudos demoncase! And thanks for the reply ozspyder! The only thing to add is I attempted to put them in the order they were released. Left, top to bottom, then right top to bottom. Since this thread has been resurrected I've been carrying the Cocobolo one exclusively. These really ar...

Re: So 2009.... My Kopa Collection is finally complete!!

I'm unsure, you'd have to ask Tonydahose himself. SFSW did some custom stuff for others in the past. Unsure who else would like to take on the kopa. From memory Tony himself said they were a real PITA :)

Re: 5 most often used Spydercos

Tough choices to make, and great question. For me most likely it is:

Caly 3 CF
Para 2
Persian C83 black micarta
Military
Delica 4

Re: So 2009.... My Kopa Collection is finally complete!!

Excellent job on finishing the Kopa collection mate !!! They are one of my most favourite knives and my Kopa Kabana is also ever increasing. I love them so much I have at least 2 of each variation, and about a dozen customised ones done by Tony. I have been waiting for Sal to announce - one day - a ...

Yup Aussie knife prices are crazy. Due mainly to tight knife control laws around importation after December 2011. Knives have always been more expensive here than most other places - as it is with most other things in Oz (cars, clothing, etc). With pivots - don't over-tighten them. Customs aren't st...

Roman,

Scale materials are on a page or two back. Oops I forgot I've actually posted this pic back a while ago. Anyway it's good to resurrect nice things !

Tony will be getting a PM from me soon about Green Kauri on Kopa, Kiwi and Lava :)

I think with certain 'patterns' of sprint runs I am seeing that IF the Kopa were to be sprinted with G10 or FRN scales then really it's a no brainier to have H1 bladesteel. But if the scales are to be a natural material then it should stay the same VG10 as per previous iterations. And seeing as we h...
