Ye, one more reason for you to move south. Days are too short in Alaska. :D

It's been awhile...
I found myself missing posting pictures and talking to my old friends here...
My new Chokwe gives me this chance again :)
Back to basics - simple mirror shots.

I cannot believe, WhyNot is back. :) Or may be this is just imagination? :confused:
Very good pictures BTW, especially I like the first. I love the look of the handle.
How do you like the lock?

Roman,
I do like Chokwe. My only other framelock is Volpe. Chokwe is much easier to handle. I can even close it with one hand :D

Here is one more pic which I think might be worth sharing.**

Finally I was able to complete my Kopa set!
It took me awhile to get CF Kopa but I am a happy camper now.
It is my favorite kind of CF among all used by Spyderco.

Look who is back. :D :)
Great mirror pictures as always. I am glad that you completed Kopa set, so now you can start to work on the group family picture. :)
Sorry, just want to be sure. Do you like this CF more than CF on Taiwanese knives?

Sage is the only one Taiwanese CF knife I ever handled. IMHO CF used on Kiwi and Kopa looks classier. I would even consider it better looking that the one used for T-Mag and Caly 3.

Dan,
I just was not in a hurry to finish the set :D I wanted to trade for CF Kopa...and finally got my chance. I'm waiting to see your new stuff. Let me guess...some new mods?

Ok. Pretending that i did not see your question first time did not work. :p
It is just a matter of having free time and a proper weather to take a shot.
I'll do it. I promise.
Mark.

Dan's recent post inspired me to show these pics...
Like Dan I was trying to convince my wife that it was a present for her, but it did not go well ;) .
Anyway now WE have a couple of nice kitchen knives (8" Cook's knife and 3.5" Paring) that along with Yin & Yang should cover all our needs.
