Does Spyderco Have a mailing list?

Seems to me that if you're on the forums, there's no need for a mailing list
That is true, also you can request a catalog. Almost all info is there.

They do, but it's for dealers only
They don't do mailings to consumers, other than the catalog. As noted above, here, and the Spyderco factory forum, are great sources for this kind of info.
Another would be your dealer of choice.

I'm working on something new, it's a little ways out yet, but it's coming. It won't be a mailing or an e-mail, but it will be a heads-up for our ELUs on things to come.
I'll share more once it's up and live.

Looking forward to it.

I know you said the program wouldn't be a mailing, but...
I would love to see some kind of program where we could "subscribe" to all the paper (catalogs, fliers, etc.) that Spyderco produces. Then there could be twice a year mailings or something along those lines. Either that or offer the material as a package bundle on the website. Personally I would be willing to pay for this service (shipping, etc.) to get it all in one shot instead of piecing it together over the course of the year and likely missing some.

Sounds like a good idea at first glance. But catalogs only come out once a year, people move, people lose interest. So I think there might be too much waste with an established mailing list.
Sprint run fliers, when they do come out, are rarely published at the same time as the catalog, so "bundling" would probably not work either.
Seems recently that Sprints are falling into two categories. Some planned far enough in advance to be in the regular catalog, others coming on such short notice that, aside from notifying the dealers, there's no "flier" for them.

I would be willing to pay more and have each item shipped when it becomes available instead of waiting. I'm simply an avid collector that just wants all the printed material, and being so far from SFO most of the time it is hard to come by (especially now that some catalogs are mailed to dealers only). Paying at the beginning of the year would insure that Spyderco gets paid up front and if the person is really that interested they will keep their information up to date.
I agree with you that waste is a bad thing, but I still get a catalog in every box they ship me, no matter how many I have gotten in the past. It is hard to complain about this since I like to have a few duplicates to peruse and pass around to friends, but there should be a better way (maybe a check box on the order form that signals I have reached my catalog quota for this year
).Perhaps what I want is currently available, I just have to become a dealer to get it.
Either that or make more frequent trips to SFO (which doesn't really help those that want the info, but are unable to do this).- Ben
