3D Spydie bugs?

[mley1]

I recently aquired a Sage 1 and a Gayle Bradley. Both of them have Spydie bugs on their blades that appear to be 3D. They look really cool. I also have 2 PM2's. On the PM2 blades the Spydie bugs are not 3D. What other models have the 3D bugs? Is it just the ones from Taiwan? Or from Taichung? Are there other Spyderco models with the 3D bugs?

I would also like to say that both knives have excellent fit and finish. Both have better f&f than any other folder I have, including the PM2's and my ZT's. I am very impressed with them. What other models are made in Taichung Taiwan?

It might vary between models but to start look here

I think the logo on a given knife is unique to the factory/process that makes it. My ppt and my gayle bradley, both taichung knives, have the same logo. It's a kind of 3-d'ish/ checkered logo.
I recall some time ago someone posting magnified pics of the logos from the different spydie makers.

We've been chatting about this on the Spyderco forum as well.

This is the Bug on my Sage 1 with a Spider web looking relief:

Yup. Thats how my Sage 1 and GB look. I that look a lot better than the ones on my PM2's.
