Trivia Question

[fredswartz]

I have several Spyderco mini-catalogs (1998)that were shipped to me in boxes with collaboration knives. When did Spyderco start (and end) enclosing these catalogs in knife boxes? If anyone has multiple copies of earlier or later catalogs other than 1998, I would like to trade with you. Jerry

Jerry,

I am not sure here, but did you know that <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> makes a consumer sized catalog and full sized (8 1/2 x 11) catalog? Just wondering. But to answer your question, we used to make the super mini catalog (the size that could fit into the box tray that the product is sold in) 7 or 8 years ago...don't quote me on this. The last one I saw one in was the Blue G-10 handled Native. We may have had some laying around and we put some it at that time. But, this is when we had the Wayne Goddard Lightweight, Micarta handled Calypso Jr., etc. still in production. I don't know if this helps...sorry for rambling.

TQ

Travis:
Thanks for your input. I have become somewhat of a literature freak and enjoy using these small catalogs for reference and as a collectable. Jerry

I have 3 of the 03 ELU books, and my 03 dealer...

looking for a 99 book, doesn't matter on format, if you have an extra.

Have 96-03, dealer books 96/01/03... works nicely for doing history questions.

Sorry, no 99 catalogs, only 98's and one 97. I can send one of the 98's if you want it.

I'm not positive, but I believe the little books that were inserted in the box with the knives were called "PDR'S." I remember a blue one and a green one. The green one was more informative as it had the Steel Chart in it.

I know what ya' mean! That little booklet that was about 2" by 3 1/2". I gather around
1995 ; but I could be wrong!!!!

I have a blue one, with the Spyderco letters shaped like a fishtank and another green one, with textured letters, that came enclosed into the 204 box. Could be the 97 and 98 editions. All I have in double is the 2003 catalog <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
I guess you may ask Joyce, maybe she will help you.

Alan and Alex:
I have the same catalogs as the ones that you describe. I just have an extra green one if anyone needs one. It seems that 1997 and 1998 were the only years that Spyderco put these catalogs in with their collaboration knives. Jerry
