How do I get a nice paper copy of the Reveal? I mean a copy on par with past dead tree editions?

Per the October's Spyderco Byte, "Reveal 14 is also significant in that it represents our first all-digital Reveal. As consumer behavior and trade show dynamics change, we have been carefully monitoring our customers’ appetite for printed marketing materials. After careful analysis, the trend is clear: most consumers prefer the convenience of a digital format over traditional printed media. As such, we have decided not to print or distribute any hardcopies of Reveal 14. For traditionalists who enjoy paper copies, we ensured that Reveal 14’s digital format is printer friendly, so you can easily print your own if you choose."

I didn't know that. I love being being able to compare by putting one of my knives on a life size photo of another. Oh well. And no, I'm not going to be printing a catalog myself.

I’m surprised there’ll be no printed Reveal 14 mailed to subscribers. I’m also surprised it wasn’t mentioned in Post #1 of this thread on October 18th and instead buried towards the bottom of the Spyderco byte October 2023 newsletter.

It sounds more like a cost-cutting measure.

Hopefully, this trend doesn’t carry over to the 2024 Product Guide.

My thoughts as well. I would hate to see the printed Annual Product Guides disappear but it sounds like that may be the case.

Yesterday I got to thinking if I missed the Reveal in the mail , after reading post very disappointed. I certainly hope the catalog will not be discontinued. Dan

That’s too bad that we don’t get hard copies of the Reveals anymore…they were always the best “junk” mail of the year…

I’m most excited about the Native Chief LW Magnacut, as well as the Manix 2 XL CruWear, but this is a great reveal overall.

The Bodacious is cool, but doesn’t really appeal to me that much. I definitely see where it will fill a niche for Shaman users who’d prefer a non-choil variant.
