I saw the Kota Prairie Swift review in TB Magazine. Wanting a good one piece. Anyone have a Kota and could you share your thoughts? Thanks, Jerry

Some pic's of my Kota Kill-ums...

The Kill-ums are quick but can be somewhat loud (need more time tuning)...I'm playing around with brace height and it has helped.

Bacote and Birds-eye maple (AKA "Spider) from all the eyes:
