New Kopa flavor: Apple Coral
New Kopa flavor: Apple Coral
I don't know for how long it's been out for sale but I think nobody mentionned it and our favorite retailer apparently forgot to put it on the "what's new" page.

Looks very nice. After getting the Cocobolo Kopa, I really have a desire to get more!! My pocket book is not looking so good though. I am saving.

save your money for the tiger coral first, it's the best flavor so far...ront wrote:Looks very nice. After getting the Cocobolo Kopa, I really have a desire to get more!! My pocket book is not looking so good though. I am saving.

Ryan, I posted these not so long ago and haven't had the time to take better ones, no sun these days around here :o
note that there are variations in the tiger coral colors, some stripes are orange like mine whereas others are darker, more brown-ish.
I ordered the apple coral and will post some comparaison pics.

Don't get me wrong, the Tiger Coral is beautiful. But I think perhaps the picture of the Apple Coral does not do it justice. The pieces I've seen (in jewelry) are extremely attractive. Granted, as with the Tiger Coral, and the Cocobolo for that matter, there can be a lot of color and pattern variance between specimens, but have a hunch once folks start posting shots of them, the Apple will become even more popular than it is already.Senate wrote:save your money for the tiger coral first, it's the best flavor so far...

Senate, absolutely beautiful. I have been thinking about getting one for my dad so that I can do my part to pass on the addiction. I’ll probably wait for some side to side comparison pics but your photography is stunning thanks. Those pics are going to my hard drive.
There ain't no rules around here. We're trying to accomplish something.

Yes, the corals are beautiful, but are we not denuding the sea of coral by using this material ? Imagine a Spyderco with genuine African elephant ivory scales...and in a genuine leopard fur sheath ! This would create a **** of an uproar from the bunny-huggers ! Maybe this compassion for life does not extend to such lowly forms as coral.
I am playing Devil's Advocate here ! While I am not a bunny-hugger myself, I will not needlessly destroy life, except for flies, ants, mosquitos. I will leave hugging these to the Jains !

Senate; Thanks for the heads up that our favorite dealer has the new Kopa.
I too have been watching for a "whats new" indication. I ordered my Apple Coral yesterday. I really like the Kopa's and want 1 ea of every handle material that Spyderco makes available. :)
