Great Schempps my friend :D I like them a lot :p

Just got another today and it will be molested by a couple of master pimpers once I save up the funds and find some time !

Keep up the nice photos - we need more bark I think ;) Can't wait to see that with the newer Spydie offerings.

Roman, Daniel, thanks a lot!

I always wanted to get Lil' Temperance. Finally I got a chance to get it without breaking the bank. Well, almost without breaking the bank. :rolleyes:
Everything good that has been said about Lil' Temperance is true! Green G10 is the most pleasant to my eyes.

Mark,

All I can say is.... yeah :D :p well done on finally grabbing one. I had a few cances myself. And having handled a few I decided against one as I didn't see myself using or carrying one. Thus I passed on it. However in the future a PE version will probably make its way to me for some "photo-collection"

Keep them coming Mark. I think the Bark ones are almost as nice as the mirror ones now :)

WOW! Those are some of the nicest looking Kopas I've ever seen. The patterning / depth of color on them is excellent. Is it just your great photography skills or did you hand pick each one? :D BEAUTIFUL!

Hooray !!!! Mark has finally updated his Kopa shots (and yep, he beat me to my Kopa Kabana updates ;) )

Fantastic shots Mark, the best of your Kopa ones to date. Although the absence of mirror magic and beautiful bark is curious over this choice of blue felt ?

Some more shots soon I hope. This has made me salivate and motivating me to pick up the camera and ready my Kabana. I'm just waiting on a couple more :D

Please continue .... :p

Doc Pyres,
I wish I had photography skills to make knives look better than they are ;)
I never had a chance to buy Kopas after seeing them in person. Every single one came up in the mail.
Based on some really good pictures posted here, I think there are few models that have pretty wide variation in appearance - Giraffe Bone, Tiger Coral, Cocobolo, Black Quince (in that order). The rest of the Kopas look more or less the same. I am pretty happy with all Kopa species I got so far. I hope pictures do them justice.

Brian,
The beauty of Kopa is that the set will be uniquely yours!!! Looking forward to see your new pictures.

Daniel,
There is no mystery in the absence of mirror in these group shots. When you use mirror and you shoot at certain angle, half of the knives look a little distorted. If you shoot straight down, it looks like self portrait with camera. You see...it is an easy choice.

Is that a dot after the CC number "024"? Were the other Cocobolo Kopas numbered in this way? Nice pics by the way!

Just want to add that "black" mirror is even better (at least at this time) for me.
Also my intuition saying that Mark has eleven more Kopas :D :)

IIRC Spyderco mark CC replacements with dot. My Coco doesn't have dot after CC number.
