I just noticed...

Post by dplafoll »

So my computer's background is:
ImageCapture3 by dplafoll, on Flickr

And as I was looking at it just now, I noticed that the nose of the Spyder on the left... is a Sharpmaker stone, as seen from an end.

So how behind am I on noticing this? :cool:

It's been that way about 35 years. Since we created the logo.

If I could have added the Bug decals to my calendar order without the shipping going up $10 I might be more familiar with the Spyder lol It was $3 shipping for the calendar and $13 for the calendar and a decal... lol

I know you started making sharpeners first but did the logo come before the knives too?

I've thought that triangle resembled the end of a SM rod but somehow my thick skull never allowed my brain to realize it was intentionally designed that way.

Edit: Now I really feel dumb!

Spyder was because they made that helping hands device right?

well, considering that spiders don't have a nose, it's logical that something else had to be there in the face in the drawing!

I kinda saw it as fangs or something. It's so obvious now that I know what it is.

Patrick,

You have officially confirmed you are more Spyder obsessed than me. And that's saying something! See you at the brick and mortar
