I stopped in to the SFO this afternoon and saw being offered some turquoise-enlayed Kopa's that are factory seconds. Price was $112. I'm not a Kopa user, but that is a very comfortable & sturdy knife. Anyway, since they are seconds they do have the tiny notch grind mark on the right of the spine. I looked at some, and can tell you that the 'seconds' part comes from inclusions (ie: not perfect) aspects of the inlay-not with the knife itself. If you want a pretty Kopa user, give em a call.
