==History, mentionings etc. from the forums==

* In this post on the Spyderco.com forum, from 8 March 2021, [[Sal Glesser]] shares the origin of the Counter Puppy design: 
''We got the idea for the "Puppy" from a knife-maker in Seki City. I liked the idea, but I didn't like his designs. We made a deal with him to pay him royalties for the idea, but that we would design our own models. We designed 3 sizes and even built a dog house for them. We decided to introduce the small one first to see reaction. The second size, is in my opinion an ideal table/steak knife. I planned, in addition to the general market, to market to Steak houses with their company names engraved on the blades. They could use them for their restaurants for guests and sell them as well. We began tooling the second size about a year ago, but everything is slow now due to Covid, even in China.''<ref>From the Spyderco.com discussion forum thread [https://forum.spyderco.com/viewtopic.php?p=1500935&sid=d9552b61ddabbc9f30bec8da3c40ae2e#p1500935 | 'Any chance for a Lil' Z-Cut?']</ref>

==Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web==

'''K20 Counter Puppy'''

''"Counter Puppies are an exciting new concept in kitchen cutlery. Their injection-molded high-impact plastic handles are shaped like the stylized body and legs of a puppy. This novel design allows them to stand upright on a counter or tabletop, keeping them clean and handy while creating a truly distinctive table setting presentation.''


''Counter Puppy blades are crafted from corrosion-resistant 7Cr17 stainless steel and full-flat ground for outstanding edge geometry. They are available with a choice of a blue or purple handle and either a PlainEdge™ or fully serrated SpyderEdge™ cutting edge. Man’s best friend just got even better."''
