I'm sure those are the published specs, but am wondering now if they could be wrong (would not be the first time). By those numbers the Kopa blade and handle are only fractionally larger than those of the Kiwi, yet I still have the impression that it felt a good bit larger when I held it.

Deacon, this is indeed how they are in the PDF.
I guess that 148mm is correct and 5 3/16" not... Joyce? :p :)

My apologies. Looks like we have a typo. I've the spec sheet here in front of me and it reads Length overall: 5-13/16" 148mm - 148 Millimeters equals 5.82677 Inches.

Please note that these measurements are taken from the Prototype and final production may vary fractionally.

You know when I first saw the 2005 Catalog I didn't think much of the Kopa, but the more I look at the more I think I need one :eek:
