these two are for a forum member who joined just so he go send me a PM. He has no posts yet, maybe these pics of his finished knives will get him to say hellothe first one is a Blue Mammoth Tooth Kopa, i really like the color on this one.
this next one is a Redwood Burl Kopa, this was a plan B unfortunately, his first choice turned out too hard to work with. i think the burl is a suitable substitute.

and lastly a lil hint of what my next kopa will look like

is this gonna be a full scale Kopa or a thin polished SS ? the way it is now reminds me of an old original Worker and a Economy.
those new ones are beautiful as usual Tony, soon we will need a Kopa family pic from you

I will echo Roman's sentiments - that Redwood Burl is exquisite !!!
That 'new' Kopa looks like something I was coincidentally about to ask you actually ! Gret minds must think alike.... if you are thinking what I am thinking ?!![]()

lol
it will be a full scale kopa, Will and thanks for the compliments. i will get a a family pic once i fill the drawer in my tool box, 4 left to go, 36 in a tray. All the doubles are in a different drawer. After that i will be done making them for myself and moving on to different models.
the redwood burl should, it is from your wood..lol. i am guessing you want a full scale one too...lol. i was surprised at how long it took for me to get those damn scales off.
i just finished this one up. My son's favorite color is orange and he asked me to make one for him...lol. He can have this one in 20 years or so, maybe ill give it to him when he gets married, an orange kopa goes with a black tux, right?
ok enough talk, i present to you Orange Sherbert Kopa
i saw a dead spider in my photobox so it seemed necessary to throw him in a picture

it is called Yellow Spiney, it should be called orange spiney IMO.
Beautiful work as always Tony, keep it up!

Fantastic work Tony, I saw your "Kopa pimping" tag... didn't realize you were actually pimpin' Kopas. They all look fantastic!
