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

You are absolutely correct correct, Sir! :)
CC replacement knife gets marked with a "." next to the CC number. It happened to my white micarta Goddard.
Also I really like your idea (and research!) to group Kopas by the introduction year. So far I posted pictures of 2005 models. Here is one more Kopa'05 to complete that group.

Tiger Coral.

Very nice once again Mark - you manage to capture the depth of the Gold Pearl Kopa like no other :D Still those with Kopas will understand that even with magnificent shots like these the Gold Pearl is still more beautiful than a photo can capture :p

Please continue :) I love this thread a lot !!

Absolutely gorgeous pictures of beautiful knives. Thank you Mark.
IMHO 2006 was the best Kopa year so far. I love all three of them. Apple Coral is one of most underappreciated Kopas. And it is beautiful.

You kindness keeps me going! :)

Mark,

What's happened in 2008? just wondering :)
Do not worry about 2009. I do not want to know :rolleyes: , at least yet.

Mark,

Do not worry about 2009. I do not want to know...

I think Kopas have up and down years. 2008 was definitely an UP year for me.
Actually I like all four Kopas-08.
Regarding Kopas-09 ... From what I see so far it looks like my up & down theory is working :cool: Of course it should not stop me from buying them :)
