The Kopa CLIPIT® is the newest model in Spyderco's canon collectible gentleman's folders. Two debuting models launch the coming series,which highlight stainless handles inlayed with exotic materials: The first is manufactured with Cocobolo wood,and the second with black linen Micarta insets. Quantities are limited to 600 pieces per handle material and new models are scheduled for release regularly throughout 2005.

Standard on all Kopa models are stainless handles painstakingly and ergonomically engineered for the human hand. Fitted individually,each inlay is set between brushed steel bolsters creating a custom-finished appearance. Expansion points wave out alone the handle keeping the user's hand in constant contact for cutting precision and greater safety. Patterned in a leaf-shape,the utilitarian blade is VG-10 flat-ground with a PlainEdge cutting surface. Positioned just above the Spyderco Round Hole is a spine cusp;just below the hole is a small finger choil. The cusp and choil work in concert keeping the hand stabilized while cutting. A back-lock positioned mid-way on the spine has a David Boye cutout from the lock bar as an additional safety feature. It carries right-handed tip-down with a silhouette steel pocket clip.
