2015 Catalog Released!

[Peter1960]

Kristi, Thank you very much for your service!

Thanks, Kristi! Nice work by whoever the layout designer(s) are! Can't wait to pick up my hardcopy.

I was sad to not see the Lil' Temp 2, but plenty of good stuff in there as usual. Wishlist for me would be:

Roadie (have to see the colors in person before I can choose)
PITS
Stretch 2
Schempp Bowie
Urban

Downloading as I type. Gotta say WHAT A COVER!!! Great picture. Can't wait to browse. :)

I'm loving the new brown stretch, Aqua salt and the foundry



The purple dragon fly might find its way into my groomsman gifts

Glorious. Simply glorious! Beautiful job, Spyderco Crew! Thanks Kristi.

The TiCN coating must be popular, as it seems that a lot of the new releases of previously existing knives are TiCN versions. I'm on the fence with the all black trend, as I don't love it but don't hate it either. On some knives I think the all black look is nice, but on others not so much.

This would make a fine poster!

I remember discussion of a blue jester. Does the fact that its not in here mean it will not be made? Or does that sort of exclusive just get confirmed/announced/released whenever the time is right?

Nice catalog folks!!!! Just spectacular...lots of black blade mods. Looks like the PPT is getting everyone all hopped up here! Better get in line early for that one lol. Would have enjoyed seeing a black bladed ladybug too but I can wait 'til I get someone convinced we (ok I...) want one.

The blue Jester is a pretty recent development, so it probably hasn't been scheduled out yet. There's always the chance it'll show up in the mid-year supplement. On the flip side, there are plenty of sprint runs that never make it into the catalog and just get released. Either way, I'd be very surprised if it makes it into the production schedule for the first half of the year (due to the aforementioned "recent development" thing). This should be a good year for very small knives, as we should have the blue Jester, USN ladybugs, and another color of Manbug (I think it was leaning towards orange IIRC).

Awesome poster! Would indeed make a nice addition to the catalog!

No apparel ??? ....

I know that is not what Spyderco is business to make, but I think there is enough people out there to make worth some time to put a few items out.

How about a forum Shirt !!! Updated of All of God's Creatures have knifes, as a forum shirt. :spyder:

[essorde]

USN Ladybugs you say Jabba? I had no idea. My interest is peaked and wallet open.
And thanks for the info....I'm new to collecting Spyderco (not new to the product, I've had them from time to time just didn't know how to appreciate them properly) so your information is invaluable to me. Thanks again for taking the time to explain it!!

Thanks Kristi!

Wow--could the specs be any smaller? I have the zoom at 200% and I can still barely read it.

Tablet or smartphone? I ask because my eyes have seen better days and I can read them at 81% on my monitor (25" @ 1920 X 1200).

34" computer monitor at 3440 x 1440. I know that's big/high but by now I'm used to it and know how things should look. I've also viewed the 2014 catalog with this setup, and it was fine.

I gotta agree that it seems small. 200% works good for me, but I have to lean in closer to read the specs comfortably if I'm zoomed in any less than that.

27" 2560x1440 monitor

If I drag it over to monitor #2, 150% works fine

23" 1600x900 monitor

I think this is because they cram two print pages onto each PDF page, so a bigger zoom is required to display a single print page, whereas the 2014 catalog was already broken down into a single print page, so no zooming was required to get you to the same point, if that makes sense. When I compared a single page of the 2015 PDF catalog on my iPad to the 2014 print version (which is virtually the same size as the iPad screen), it seems that the text is the same size as last year, so legibility shouldn't be an issue once the printed copies ship.

The Reverse looks great for an EDC blade. I haven't done much with my P'Kal, but this makes it an easy option when I want to explore that with a fixed blade.

I'm glad to see the Urban return as well, even if it is in lightweight form. Perhaps we'll even see a Wharncliffe version sometime.

Also glad to see the Aqua Salt return. I have the ones I need (for now), but I'm glad I can tell people they're available when they ask where to get one.

Thanks to the whole Spyderco team who make the catalog and the knives.

[Blades]

Looks like another great year.

[swigert]

Kristi are we looking at a similar release date this year?

[RamZar]

The 2015 Catalog was released on December 12, 2014 and the 2014 Catalog was released on November 20, 2013. By that estimation, it could be another 1-4 weeks from now.

[SpyderNut]

I can hardly wait! :D

We're working to get it to you within the next few weeks. It'll fly by.
