The only knives I bought at the first knife show I went to (1998) were Spyderco's.
The knives came with a small brochure of other Spyderco knives. The knife that stood out for me in that catalog was the Jess Horn C27. I called to try to order one, but I found out they were out of production. I did find out that when the were available they sold for over $350...a wee bit over my budget back then.

A couple of years later here on BFC Sal Glesser was looking for suggestions for a knife that would appeal to the ladies. I made a suggestion that Sal thought was interesting and as a way to say thanks he sent me a knife.

This one.

:eek:

This knife is still a star in my collection and IMO one of the finest folders ever made, production or custom.
 
Phil. The original Spydie Horn is a great one and this one seems to follow suit!

Thanks for correcting me Phil. I didn't think it had the thumb notch on the original. DUH

That knife is certainly very attractive, though I'd still opt for a Kopa if they were similarly priced.
 
I like the Kopa as well.
I also like my jigged bone Kiwi, it's fit & finish is comparable to the C27.
