Hard to say, but since forumites in countries around the world receive them, one possibility is that someone in your postal system may be a Spyderco fan themselves. While not the ideal solustion, all the recent ones are available here (http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/request.php) in .PDF format, which can be downloaded and read on your computer. They can even be printed if you're desperate for a hard copy version.

I normally get them from dealers, but every order you place from SFO comes with one.

Look for a mule or something reasonably priced at SFO.


Also, if worse comes to worst, I could snail mail you a catalog or two, I always seem to have extras lying around.

You dont actually have to break a clip, just buy a new one. Or something cheap, from the spyderco factory outlet. Or hell if you want a mule, go for that too. Anything that comes direct from spyderco will have one. Buy a bug, honeybee or grasshopper. Buy a shirt, or a USB bug. OR save a tree and just follow the deacons link and get it for free...

I always wind up with multiple catalogs, nearly every order I place with Cutlery Shoppe they throw one in there, although I imagine international orders for any store, they may be concerned about the additional weight/postage to Greece. I *do* like the fact that Spyderco makes the .pdf files available online.

Yes pdf is normally fine,but a catalog on the table is the best info for my wife what happens next,a kind of divorse insurance!!
The best is if donut send me one and i send him some baclava to thank him(lol)... Serious,i mean that with the baclava !!!

Would baclava be good after the two week shipping time?

I would expect to pay a few dollars using the cheapest shipping method and it would probably take a month to get there, I wouldn't want you to pay extra for fast shipping so that the food doesn't expire.

So, I wouldn't want you to go through the trouble of sending food.

Just PM me your address and I'll get it in the mail to you.

My boss just came back from Italy & Greece and brought me back a box of Baclava. I hate this stuff. It's pure sugar. If you want it let me know :D

LOL I'm okay. There are some places here that sell it, probably imitation, but still.

Very cool of you Donut. Maybe he will send you a balaclava instead, it keeps your head warm and isn't as sticky. :p

I can't believe this, I think I gave away my only 2012 catalog. I have multiples of 2011 and 2010, I looked all over at home and all over at work and can't find a single 2012 catalog! *facepalm*

I placed a long overdue order with a dealer and requested two catalogs. Planning to get the catalog out next week!

Now you're just using that as an excuse to place more orders. I like it.

It seems a bit difficult to get a printed catalog even up here. I request them...but never seem to get them. Maybe the post office likes it too much I dunno. But it is a bit frustrating. Wish that there was a list where I could just be mailed one every year, and then the supplement too.

Donut

I haven't seen a hardcopy mid year supplement ever. In reality, I typically just leave the PDF on my desktop for a couple of months so I can look at it when I think of something.

The hardcopy catalog is good for showing someone else a specific model if it comes up in conversation.

I'm pretty sure that I got a hard copy mid year...last year. I think.
I just like having hard copies. I prefer them, especially after looking at a computer screen all day, it's nice to have a proper copy.

I ordered a catalog and I got the Regular, the Spec Ops and the supplement all in one envelope. No problems receiving and my post carrier is a momo. Don't know what's going on for window shopping via the "Throne".
