It's always Kopa time...

...or at least it will be if I get CafePress to print this on a clock for me. :D

A very well arrangement, appreciate your picture!
Reminds me to order the new pacific blue bone.

EXCELLENT !

Nice one Paul, all the current talk of Kopas made you take the family photo :p

I still love your Linda Karst scrimshaw on the Evrina mate ..... it just looks like it belongs there :D

I'll have to add my own family photo to this soon. Both my Pacific Blue and Stacked Wood are enroute from the USA, but due to the 4th July hols it seems things have halted for a couple of days.

Now, can you repeat your 'clock of knives' trick on your Kiwi collection ? :D

[Fred Sanford]

Paul,

That's super cool. That would make a neat clock. I hope they do it for ya.

Very nice pictures Paul.
Nice arrangement. Thank you.
I never knew, that Spyderco is making clocks. Probably it is custom :D

Great photo Paul! That would make an awesome clock face.

[Doc Pyres]

Wow, that is truly beautiful. :) What is the :spyder: background?

[spydutch]

Very nice Paul, thanx for sharing :cool: :cool:

[tonydahose]

Nice Paul...i haven't gotten my pacific blue just yet...so i am only at 11 kopas...mine would make a great clock for a death row inmate :p ....so what do you think, a Big Calspo blade for the minute hand and Native for the hour one? :D

[Karen]

Nice jigged bone. Is that turquoise at 7 o'clock? Beautiful... :)

[bh49]

Paul,
I am wandering can you call me at Evrina past Gold MOP? :D :D :D

[walace]

waow really nice ! ! !
I've got just one (cocobolo)...
Imagine one with CF handle...

Awesome pic Paul! The jigged bone is probably the one most appealing to me of the Kopas.

Thanks Peter, the blue bone is a very nice looking material, there's enough variation in color to make it interesting.

EXCELLENT !

Something like that Daniel. Or at least the talk in combination with taking them all out to clean after receiving the new Pacific Blue Bone one, and deciding it might be a good time for a photo shoot.

Linda Karst does incredible work, here's a tighter shot of the owl....



And yes, after seeing how well the Kopa shot turned out, am considering doing one with some Kiwis. Difference is, "selection and placement" were easy with the Kopas - just use all 12 of them, and make their hand position the order of release. Picking and arranging 12 Kiwis will take more thought. :o

Hope your Stacked Wood and Blue Bone have arrived safely.

Paul,

That's super cool. That would make a neat clock. I hope they do it for ya.

Thanks David, the clock turned out pretty well. Only "problem" is they only have one color of hands - black - so I have to get either some white or silver model paint and a small brush. Will take a shot of it once that's done.

Wow, that is truly beautiful. :) What is the :spyder: background?

It's a :spyder: "token" that was given out at the 2006 Spyderco show in Amsterdam. One of our Dutch members was kind enough to send it to me.

Nice jigged bone. Is that turquoise at 7 o'clock? Beautiful... :)

Thanks Karen, yes, that's the Turquoise one at 7.

Awesome pic Paul! The jigged bone is probably the one most appealing to me of the Kopas.

Thanks Jano, of the "stock" ones, the jigged bone is pretty well tied with the cocobolo for my nomination for that title.

waow really nice ! ! !

Walace, if it turned out as nicely as the CF Kiwi, it would be rather attractive.

Love all the kopas together. Its a awsome photo, looks like money!

Someone asked for pictures of the Pacific Blue Bone Kopa...

Definitely one of the more "ruggedly handsome" handle materials the Kopa has been graced with...

nice pics Paul...i think the giraffe has the most variations of any kopa so far...your has a blond wood look to it.

[ozspyder]

I like the looks of the Girrafe Bone Kopa. Great pics Paul... is that from the light tent?

I really am salivating at the prospect of receiving my own GBP Kopa as well. I might see if I can get a couple of different 'shades' of the bone... maybe a lighter one, and then a more striated and darker version. Nice character to it, much like some stag horn you see.
