I have 4 Kopas and the only one I have with a number on the blade is Giraffe bone. I am curious what the deal is with some having numbers and others not?

I believe it could be Spyderco collectors club knife. I could be wrong, if I am I'm sure some very knowledgeable person will chime in.

I believe you are correct. The number is a collector club number.

I have three Kopas and would like to have more. None of mine have numbers on the blade, but I wouldn't mind having one in giraffe bone with a number on the blade.

Did they alot a certain number of the 600 of a run for collectors club members then? I have had the knife so long i dont even remember where i bought it and i thought i bought it from knifecenter. I wish i could work on the whole series but i dont have the coin..they are handsome little devils.

I believe the first 200 are marked as Collectors Club.

Correct but there are less than 200 members in the club.

And even fewer who were signed up for "all variants", and few yet of the "all variants" collectors who specifically elected to sign up for the entire Kopa series. The Cocobolo version was the first to be made, so there are more of them than any of the others because all Collectors Club member received them.

I would love it if this knife were still available. That's a really great collection Deacon. I particularly like the ones on the top right half.
