It looks like Manix 2 is going to be S30V now.

I bet most of you missed the Tenacious with black blade.
(As did I, until I re-read the catalog)

So I'm not the only one. Took me almost an hour to download the thing. For reference, I can normally download a full-length motion picture (Avatar) in six minutes.

Same here, but it was totally worth it. I love the Sage4.

I'm also experiencing problems downloading. I think they put up the large file that gets sent to the printer. A 'lighter' PDF file would do the trick for most of us I guess.
Still, from reading the online flip-over catalog, I am very pleasantly surprised with the Sage 4 and the sprint run R and Meerkat!

The Sage 4 just bumped the fluted Ti Native 5 off my must buy list. The Air looks awesome. I hope it is clip less like the photo.

Don't forget about the mid year supplement, and if this year was any indication than I'd bet we'll see quite a few surprises in 2012.
The catalog looks great; very nice layout, the photo appendix is a nice touch and I think the image on the outside back cover pretty much sums up how most of us feel about Spyderco :)
My only disappointment was to read that the GB Air will be clipless. I understand why, but I appreciate the security of a clip and would much prefer to have the option, especially on a knife of this caliber.

I'd like a clip too. I still plan to get one, but I won't carry it without a clip.

I've reuploaded catalog to my server.
It is a "BIT" faster :)

Hope spyderco don't mind, couldn't stand 5kbs download speed.
Anyway - Southfork and pygmy warrior looks SWEET!
Air is super cool gentelmen folder. Nice. Very nice catalog too.

Hoping to see an updated Starmate but don't see one in the catalog.

Am I reading this right--no more Stretch in SE (i.e. no more C90SBK)?

I don't know who would ever buy one of those Dodos...retch!

IIRC, the C90SBK and C90PSBK were discontinued last year. Don't think there ever was a serrated ZDP one, either in blue FRN, green FRN, or CF.

Thanks.
The catalog says that the sages have lanyard holes. I think this is a mistake.

That Manix 2 XL! Woohoo! That makes the long catalog download time more than worthwhile.
I only have a limited budget and there are so many nice Spydies, I don't know where to start...

Great... in my futile effort to collect all Manix 2's I'm going to have to re-buy at least three in the S30V variety.

Some beauties on page 38-39 in the flip book catalog...

The R looks interesting but I'm not sure it's a definite purchase.
I will be picking up the Sage 4 but I'm not too excited to see all those exposed screws.
Bradley's Air looks like a very nice gent knife. I thought it was sporting silver carbon fiber from the picture but it says it's fiberglass. Hopefully that keeps the price down. I'd like to see a wire clip on it though.
The Manix XL looks awesome but just isn't my thing. The South Fork looks awesome too and is my dream fillet knife. I have a feeling it will be hard to get since it's in S90V.
Overall, another great guide by the Spyderco team. Very eye-catching, very informative. Kudos.
