    Kopa fans?

    Hi folks,I just ordered my first Kopa,a Tiger-coral.This is a departure from what I have previously looked for in a knife,but for some reason I am drawn to them.I think it may be because they remind me of the pocket knives of yore that my Grandfather carried,and thinking about my Grandfather makes me happy.Has anyone been collecting them as they are released?I have not even seen one in person,but I have a feeling I'm going to want them all

    p.s. Nice avatar pjrocco

    Huge fan of the Kopa here. I own two of every variation. I'm actually carrying a cocobola Kopa today.

    They are absolutely beautiful knives, and the fit and finish is amazing. Big things do come in small packages.

    I'm sure once you see and get your hands on one, you will fall in love. I hope to get an update when she arrives.

    Here's a crappy pic.



    and here are some more pics.

    EDC'ing as I type, my KOPA in Micarta (knife on top in Rock's picture). Wicked edge and a very pretty knife. You'll be pleased, just don't start callin' me "grandpa".

    Thanks Rock,those pics were great.The variation in the color of the coral is really neat.I asked Tom at New Graham to look at his stock and send me the "prettiest" one he has.I can't wait to see what mine will look like.
    Any idea what the next model will be?

    You might want to check out page 22 in the catalog. Which can be found here.

    That might give you some help. I'm still looking for another black Tiger Coral Kopa... But all I can find is the orange. Doh!

    Where are you finding the orange...all I have is one dark, so I "need" an orange.
    Follow the mushin, but pay it no heed.
