It looks great and thank you very much for putting it up, but...I don't see the Superhawk??:confused: :(

Will it be a limited edition run to start?

I saw the SpyderPac in there! I have been trying to get one of those for quite some time now. And the orange Assist... WOW! Thank you, TazKristi, I just saw about 8 'must have' items in there. I need to pick up some extra shifts at work to satisfy my spyder-habit.

Same with mine as well.... the orange is very light on the whiter side of the gradient, whilst getting lost in the darker side.

I really like the CF Kiwi. Curious to see the UKPK in the 2008 cattledog though as I thought it was disco'd ???

Cheers

Just the black G 10 version was discontinued.

Nice job on the catalog guys. I was hoping to see the Urban in there with a wharnie blade, and I'm guessing that its absence means that it won't be coming out early '08 as planned. But I'm pretty patient.

The orange G 10 on the UK Pen Knife looks excellent.

Aha ! didn't look closely enough. A FG UKPK and an Orange one !!! I'm in it !

Roman, I think the new Delica V/ Endura V ;) will be in FFG as per the posted pics by Taz. Catalogue is aguideline only as I believe.

Thanks for posting!

How come many of the knives look to have no Spec info? The others are barely legiable in orange?

Foliage green UKPK

Thank you very much for the good news. Phoenix and UKPK must have.
Any words on Kopas????????
Please?

For some reason I was thinking that G10 Delica/ Endura will be full flat grind and catalog shows saber ground?:confused:
Is it saber ground??

yeah Roman, I saw that and hope it's a typo/or decision that was changed after the catalog got printed (i hope)... :)

Thanks Kristi,

It all looks great I am like a kid in a candy store.

I cant read the specs in the orange lined section either I have never had this type of problem with my moniter before.

I have the same problem w/ the orange section...

David Lowry

12-31-2007, 07:25 PM

I also have the same problem reading the yellow section with the orange writing.

I'm betting what we are looking at folks is an unfinished copy of the PDF. I found quite a few other things wrong. I wouldn't worry about it. ;)

Hey Taz.... make sure you put in C100 ;)

Mr Citadel and Mr Samaritan would like to be included in next years family album :D

Well, I had to highlight the applicable area to read it, but unless it is a typo, the FRN Dragonfly is getting a long overdue upgrade to VG-10 steel. I'll have to put that on the wish list next to an orange UKPK. :D

Same problem with the orange section.

Also, THANKS for the catalog, Kristy (and the rest of the Spydercrew)!

I noticed the Byrd line is releasing a Dyad type knife. I wonder if JD will break down and buy one. :D

No D'allara rescue pictured - was this dropped along with the drop point ?

The info on the Tenacious, says, phosfor bronze ''bushings''.
Shoud that not be ''washers''?

Congrats on the collaboration with Howard Viele.
I think it is the thing to jump on for all the collectors here.
I did expect the Leafstorm to be in the lineup, maybe later this year.

Oh yeah, the G-10 Delica and Endura are shown with sabre grinds, we have all seen the pictures with the flat grinds.
I guess it slipped through.

Must not be easy to do your work with such a picky bunch looking on your fingers.

Keep up the good work, you are all doing fine. http://www.hondenhuys.nl/forumsmilies/s43.gif

Thanks a million Kristi. I am very happy with such a good start of the new year. I already saw some excellent (new) reasons for spending my money on both Spyderco and Byrd knives.

great surprise to receive for the New Year! although I'm excited about many of the knives in the catalog, what I'm *really* looking forward to are the as-yet-unannounced little surprises that get sprinkled throughout the year...and the ones not listed that we already do know about, like that new HAWKBILL, the, the...watchamacallit....???? :p ;) :D

I hope the G10 Endura would be with flat ground like it was shown before, finger crossed

Thanks Kristi! Is it just the color rendition on my monitor, or are the specs on the pages with darker orange text on a lighter orange background or darker pink text on a lighter pink background nearly impossible to read?

Same thing here. I guess there were some overprints in the document and the colors blended together, that's why they are difficult to read on the monitor. I am pretty confident the hard copy has no such issues.

Dialex, this issue should have been solved a looong time ago :confused:

The original .pdf was about 7.3MB; they tried to shrink it down to improve d/l-time and they failed miserably :) That was what Paul was referring to, I think.

The later version (whis is the one you can download from the site right now) is more than 10 MB bigger than the first release, but the text is as black as it is in the printed version (which i hold in my hands as I write this....finally :D )

You may want to check the size of your .pdf file or just re-d/l it from the spyderco site.... it's no fun to study the first release. The recent one is fine though :cool:
