How did Spyderco get its name (It does sound nice, doesn't it...?).
I suppose it's a bug thing en the "co" is for company... But what have bugs to do with knives :-)
And why the letter "Y" in setad of the "I"?

Strangley ; the name Spyderco comes, according to "The Spyderco Story" from the European term "spyder" which is a slang term to describe
speed. The "co" is of course "company". Why the "bug" as company icon is used is related to the phonetic "spyder" as akin to "spider".<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Let me tell you, I LOVE my "bug(s)"; the SE cricket being first and foremost <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

The Spyderco Story... I have to get this book one of this days. However, from the banter I heard in this Forum, it seems that the "Spyder" was a tool used to assemble parts, and which had the look of an open hand or a Spyder laying on its back. At least, that's what I heard.
