			In this post on the Spyderco.com forums, from 2 April 2022, [[Sal Glesser]] shares some details about the SpyKer project and a side-story

			''No problem with Ken and Spyderco, we're friends. No problem with Kershaw and Spyderco, mutual respect.''

			''The Keshaw/Spyderco Spyker was a fun and challenging project (two competitors). I think we pulled it off very well. We only wanted to do one run just to be able to say we did it. We're always open to new ideas and concepts.''

			''Funny side story (talkin' story), Lynn Thompson, another competitor, and friend, served me at the SHOT show because he thought that our "Spyker" name was too close to his "Striker) name. I explained to Lynn that the name came from the SPY in Spyderco and the KER in Kershaw was how the name came to be. I also explained that we were only doing one run and the run was done. So he withdrew the charge.''

			''Interesting industry.''<ref>From the Spyderco.com discussion forum thread [https://forum.spyderco.com/viewtopic.php?p=1616755&sid=e77aae8864200f7ed22ee7e5b44a7a01#p1616755\| 'What happened to the Ken Onion Designed Spyker']</ref>

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

"''The SpyKer appears to be a Kershaw while equally resembling a Spyderco. Kershaw's chief designer and prominent knifemaker Ken Onion is responsible for the pleasingly curved shape while Spyderco's Sal Glesser adds the Spyderco Round Hole and expected ergonomics. The CPMS30V steel blade is hollow-ground with a spine swedge. From midway along the cutting surface. Spyderco's Round Hole, a mark of quality in the industry, is lined up with two smaller holes of descending size. The three holes grouped by size are a design feature associated with Kershaw symbolizing their quality and craftsmanship. Precision-machined G-10 handles are inlayed with silver carbon-fiber twill and assembled with an adjustable pivot pin and phosphor bronze bushings. Set behind the cutting edge, a finger choil optimally positions the hand for advanced control. A black steel pocket clip carries the knife tip-down in a pocket.''"<ref name="current catalog">The C96 Spyker in [http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=176 Spyderco's online catalog]</ref>
