Views: 5834

I love all my Kopas and the ones Tony did for me are exceptional too :) I have a penchant for nicely figured woods and the ones that show some depth are even more coveted. For sprint runs by definition it is structurally the same as the original with really only a change in scales or steel (generall...

Tony pointed me in the right direction back to Spydie heaven :) Unfortunately what I write above is true. Not much time to indulge in my Spydie collecting nor photography of the ones I have. Will try to do a quick one to satisfy my own needs in the next week or two. Hoping to spend more time here to...

Great news all around, Sal. :) Whatever the handle material, please consider doing the Kopa clipless. As for materials, assuming it's Moki we're talking about, they appear to have experience with Ironwood, Chinese Quince, and Red Sandalwood, all of which are attractive. Another option would be poli...

Hi Alan, Welcome to the Spyderco forum. We've been discussing a Kopa sprint. The maker that made the Kopa's doesn't have the confidece to work with all of the exotic materials so we're trying to find something nice that they can work with. I believe the Lava sprint is in-the-works. sal Two of my fa...

Ooops :o Sorry I haven't been around much lately. Since having my 7th kid, the family, work and competitive pistol shooting has taken over. Compounding to that Australia's stupid knife importation laws has pretty much ruled out Spydies from coming into our brown land with any ease :mad: This reminds...

The Persian blade shape is upswept which is reminiscent of the scimitars used in the Middle Eastern countries eg: Persia amongst others. I love my Persians and can count about a dozen or more of them in my current collection. They are beautiful to admire and even more beautiful to use :) IMHO the ol...

JD I have spoken to Chad a while back about this one and a few other guys as well. Chad was keen and so were many others I spoke to. I had 2 of my Lavas pimped up by a forum member here in linen micarta I think and both with a low riding wire clip. They made excellent EDC companions. However as many...

I carry my ZDP Caly 3 CF every weekday in my work pants. I like the knife shape, blade shape, and low riding wireclip. The Delica 4 in ZDP is also in my user pile but it doesn't get used anywhere near as much as the Caly 3 :)

However, should there be a zombie invasion I'd probably reach for the G17 due to it's many other differing properties to the CZ (polymer, will shoot jus...
