Tony,
I like this Kopa as well, maybe not as much as you do :D .
My favorite Kopa this year is the one with Stacked Wood. Of course it could be changed when I finally get CC Giraffe :D
Thank you for the pics!
Mark.

Thanks for the pics Tony,

Mine should be arriving from my favourite dealer very shortly ;) Hopefully it will also be accompanied by a Turquoise Kopa, Pink D4, and if the Black Lums have been dropped off then I will get those as well. My Xmas should be quite nice :D

That is one handsome Kopa Tony. I think I'll wind up paying Steve the "myway tax" on one of these. :D

Riot, they call it giraffe bone because it's giraffe bone. You know, big African animal, long legs, long neck, odd looking little hairy horns on its head, mascot for Toys-R-Us.

I read somewhere that due to the "urbanization" of parts of Africa, ie. paved roads, that pavement is like ice to a giraffe and they walk on it and end up falling and breaking legs and have to put down hence the availability of giraffe bone.

you crack me up sometimes Paul, in Will's defense it does look like some exotic wood, i can't wait to see some of the other ones when people start getting them in.

so what are you thinking of having Steve do, the unmentionable again?

If they were clipless i would be all over it.

Very nice Tony. And that for a road-kill giraffe's...lol. Looks a bit like mammoth bone but less expensive i bet.

This is SOOO nice. It's another one that has snuck up on me.

Anybody that can take a picture of this, side by side with a Kiwi and a Caly III?

Thanks so much.. I was hoping I would only have to save my $'s for the upcoming Dragon Fly in G10.. but.. geez.. why does Spyderco do this to me!

Word of warning Gullwing :)

Once bitten by the Kopa bug, there is no turning back. Your wallet will be forever empty.... just ask the Kopa fan club here :p
