In the top picture: Micro Dyad and (not sure) two Ladybugs
In the middle: Kopa Evrina, Kopa Black Quince, Dragonfly Tattoo, and X.
At the bottom: Endura 4 FRN sabre ground CE, Endura 4 G10 flat ground PE, Centofante 3.

The three larger knives and the Dragonfly get carried, the others are shelf queens.

The Kopas are like gentleman´s versions of the Dragonfly; slimmer and with exotic scale materials. Evrina is a synthetic material designed to look like ivory. Only a small batch was ever produced so it´s very expensive. Nevertheless, it looks like plain white plastic to me. An older pic of the two Kopas:

Wanna sell a Kopa or two?

As a matter of fact, I put these up for sale in November 2016. The thread was closed but the offer still stands.

Prices are in Euro

Kopa Black Quince, NIB E 88
Kopa Evrina, NIB E 77

The Kopa Black Quince comes with a Spyderco certificate, it is dated March 2007.
There's no such certificate for the Kopa Evrina. I doubt I ever had it.
Both of these are limited edition runs of 600 pieces each.
My dealer told me only the first 100 are numbered.

Netherlands E 11
Europe E 19-23
Other E 28

I  Spyderco. Of the 10 I have, 9 are backlocks 

Me too! Just one non back lock! 

- 4 Pacific Salts (Backlock)
- 2 Spyderhawks (Backlock)
- 1 Salt I (Backlock)
- 1 Tasman Salt (Backlock)
- 1 Lil'Matriarch (Backlock)
- 1 Dragonfly Salt (Backlock)
- 1 Byrd Cara Cara 2 (Backlock)
- 1 Byrd Crossbill (Backlock)
- 1 Resilience (Liner-Lock) that is the black sheep in my collection

are the terms "backlock" and lockback" used interchangeably ? ie, they the same thing ?

yes I think so

[Thunderpants]

Couldn't resist the Meerkat... seldom have I spent so much on such a tiny blade!

[Gerhard Gerber]

Me too! Just one non back lock! 

People with taste...... 

I still can't make up my mind between the HAP40 Caly 3 or the linerless backlock Manix, only good answer I've up with is BOTH! 

Can't afford both which then drifts me towards the SpydieChef........but I struggle with the idea of the RIL 

THEN I heard that there's a Native 5 Salt with LC200N that should be out soon, I was sure that would be it till the blade length was pointed out to me.

Going by the rumor mill there's another problem: The Pacific Salt with a FFG blade in LC200N is the knife for me!

The context (is that the right word?) is slightly different - a lockback knife has a backlock... if that makes sense?

Strangely enough yes that does make sense 
Thank you

that's the one that's truly in my future, as it's probably the knife for me. Everything that I didn't like in the Pacific has been improved or changed (E4 handle instead of E3, FFG instead of saber/hollow, great pE retention...)

Can't wait!!

Been carrying my Pac Salt but no use because I am trying to use the butter blade on my Spirit I am almost having withdrawals

Was my thought as well but couldn't get the wording in my head as eloquently as Fuzzy has

So you have more info?
I just saw in a video the Salts will be upgraded, no details........throw in a handle update and FFG confirmed then I'm sold!

the edge length will remain the same, as will the lock and non-rusting hardware (screws, pocket clip...).
Still linerless and with the "safety/reinforced" tip (that is, non pointy), but changing the grind to FFG and the steel to LC200N, and the current handle design (Endura 3) to the latest (Endura 4) design

Sal says the H1 Pacifics will remain the the line for a while, though

Had a Delica HAP 40.

The blade steel was amazing. Sadly I lost the knife.
