A closer look at two suave gentlemen knives: the Spyderco Kopa, here with wonderful giraffe bone handle, and the Fallkniven U2 which features an awesome powder steel for the blade.
Nevermind, I got it. It doesn't look good without the pocket clip. There's an indention where the clip goes and it's not polished inside. I'm putting the clip back on.
I can't unscrew the screws holding the Kopa's pocket clip on. I've basically stripped the heads and they wouldn't budge! Other than that, it's a well made knife - lighter than you would think with the materials that are in it.
Regarding the Kopa, I think the choils are very functional and adds a significant margin of safety to the knife. And remember, most Spyderco knives are EDC folders, not bushcraft knives. Personally, I would have liked a slightly deeper choil like the Caly 3. Aside from that, my Kopa is an excellent knife.

If the u2 had one hand opening, it would be my choice.
The kopa is nice but I hate that large finger choil.
Spyderco waists allot of blade with their choils. In bushcraft, choil and guards are a monstrosity. They hinder power cutting.
