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. Image

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

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:

So anyone notice that the specs on the Chinook are completely wrong?

-Spine Swedge
-Hollow Ground
-FRN handle
