2005 Spyderco Consumer catalog

Got mine yesterday, very nice. My dad EDC's a Jester, but now I think he wants a stainless one. And a ATR. He really likes those.
 
Quick question: When you guys got your 2005 catalogues (btw, I got mine last week, many thanks!) did they come with two stickies keeping it closed? The reason I ask is that mine arrived with the stickies cut open very carefully, and the catalogue looks like it's been read by a number of people. lol :) I don't mind really, if some post or customs official gets edgeucated it'll only be better for us all...
 
Got mine yesterday... I noticed the Military doesn't have it's name across the blade anymore. Is this a new thing for this year?

When wil the new stuff for 2005 make it up on the website? I can't read print (blind not illiterate) and I don't have anyway to drool over the szabofly.

Just in case this doesn't make sense to ya, I can use a screen reader to access computers. Doesn't help with the photos but at least I can get stats and descriptions;-)>

Thanks

Well they've been doing a pretty good job lately of getting things up on the website almost as soon as they hit the streets. As for the szabofly, let me start by asking if you have you ever held a cutlass? If so then perhaps you can imagine a balisong with a blade shaped like that. Unlike most balisongs, which have straight blades, with relatively symetrical edge and spine, the szabofly is asymetrical, almost extremely so. Like a cutlass, the edge of the szabofly is quite convex, while the spine consists of two concave sections, a longer one at the rear, and a shorter one forward with a swedge grind, something like a clipped point. The handles too are asymetrical, curved from side to side, so the closed knife is convex on one side, concave on the other. Hope that helps you get an idea of its shape. Will just add that if you take one out in public, hold your nose, because any sheeple that don't faint dead away are guaranteed to soil their linen.

Edited to add: If your screen reader can handle an Adobe PDF file, the 2005 catalog can be downloaded from the website in that format.
 
Catalog arrived today, thank you guys !!!

One comment about it though (i steamed through in one go :D ): On page 24 (bottom left) there's a bit of text about steel. There it says that "Steel is ... and no more than 2% carbon.". The table on page 23 (listing steels, according to column #1 title) lists 4 steels at flat over 2% in carbon. You might want to fix that for the future versions.
