What do you mean addiction Peter? :D ;)

I went to Knifeaholics Anonymous just last week and I'm sure they said that I can manage to Kopa :p with my addiction if I go and buy some more..... you know , just so I can Kopa :D

Can't wait until Mr Jiggy Bone comes out to join the party. I'm doing my very best to get everyone to notice the fabulous Kopa.

I'm certain Sal is looking into some mid-production 'improvements' to my favourite knife. Looking forward to them, but a little apprehensive at the same time :rolleyes:

Cheers guys. Stay tuned for more Kopa Kabana shenanigans

I think that the tiger coral example you have is probably the best one i've seen. The apple coral is no slouch either. good pic's, nice pairings with the starfish' :)

Peter,
Did you say Kopa addiction?
I am afraid, that some of us already passed this point. :D :D

OK OK I have a couple more coming :p I promise to update this thread and my other picture thread this Xmas when I get a chance :)

I think I'm up to about 50/60 Kopas at the moment ??? lost count. I'm going to take stock of what I have and probably do the 16 variations on EDC rotation and maybe a few customs as well.

Hi WongKI,

Unfortunately the Kopa series has been discontinued :(

The last variation was the CF Kopa. The earlier variations have been long disco'd and are quite hard to find. One of the rarer pieces would be the Corals.

The Kopas occasionally come up for sale on various FS threads and in auction sites. IIRC a few came up recently at decent prices. Some were/are going for OK prices too

OK hopefully this teaser shot will keep a few of my mates satisfied for a few weeks while I try to get work and family commitments under control :p

I do indeed have a heap of the production Kopas, many of which are in EDC rotation, some have been given away as gifts, and a fair few pimped versions as well. All will come to light very shortly.

I still intend to get a few more Kopas ... you know... just in case I manage to somehow break one :D

This one here most have already seen from my main picture thread. But it deserves showing again due mainly to the fact that I am paying tribute to 2 fellow Spyder nuts - one magic mirror man :) and one master Kopa pimper :)

Image

These aren't all the pimped ones I have.... a few more and a couple more to come :p

Great picture Daniel. Love it. Thank you. I hope more coming. :) :) :p This is not the first priority, but I would love to eventually see entire Kopa collection shot coming from you and Tony. I know, this will not be easy, but you, guys have biggest Kopa collections.
Also with help of your girls and son that shot should take almost no time. :D
Thank you again,
Roman

I am learning from my mistakes Paul ;) , i saved the picture and the name of the wood so i wouldn't forget...lol. it is Acrylized Masur Birch, since my 1st plan for the full scale kopa broke, i am going to use try this wood next.
