What is a Spyder-Key or Spyderkey?

[d.g.g]

Can anyone shed some light on what they are and when they were made? Were they the predecessors to the Ladybug type keychain knives? Anyone selling them?

I guess I should comment on this thread since I took the picture in the first post. Spyderkeys/Hummingbirds were made in Seki City Japan. They were a limited run item like the Kopa that are in production today. They are hard to find today in any condition and I have not seen any in stores or websites. The last batch that I saw available were in Japan and those are long gone. The picture above is one of the knives that I brought back from Seki City, Japan. If I remember correctly there were 6-8 variations. No clips attached, strictly for the keychain. Nice items if you can find them.
