Spyderkeys, also know as
Hummingbirds, are one of the smallest knives ever producd by Spyderco. The
"key ring" style shown below was produced in a variety of handle
materials, most of which appear here. In addition, a "tie clip" backed
version was produced in Abalone, Stag, and all Stainless. |

I believe this one is Black Quince,
although the seller claimed it to be Walnut. Wood is very dark,
which is consistent with either, depending on age, source, and finish, but
the list of handle materials used on Spyderkeys that was provided by Joyce
Laituri of Spyderco a while back made no mention of Walnut as an option. |
