I am sure Sal has shared the story behind the name Spyderco. But did you know there a mural of a knife-wielding spider god was recently discovered? Surely to two are connected. :p

They should immediately stop all construction/digging in the area and get someone with ground penetrating LIDAR to make sure they are not destroying other artifacts.

Cool stuff, my friend, thanks for sharing this. :cool:

Now we can think on another variation to the perennial thread idea: ‘What 8 Spydies would you EDC?’. :D :spyder:
