Kumo.

I suspect that Knifecenter's picture is one of Spyderco's "stock" illustrations, while Filofiel Cuchilleria's is a photograph of an actual knife. I'd guess, no matter where you bought it, the Kumo would look like the one in Filofiel's photo. Although, on second though, the latest production of them may have RJ Martin's name moved from the left side of the blade to the right, and a "Spyderbug" logo on the left side.

Kumo is about an inch longer than the Street Beat. Thanks to fellow forumite and Spyderco collector Ted van der Voorde, you can compare sizes here and see either in actual size here.

Thanks a lot for the reply and the very useful links! The blade in the "stock" spyderco picture looks really different... a different grind i guess.

thanks!

Think that's mostly just the difference between a drawing and a photograph. But even ten different photos of a single knife, especially one which has multiple grinds, taken from different angles, and with different lighting can look like a bunch of different knives. What may not be apparent from either picture, and may or may not be important to you, is that the cord wrap on the Kumo is total saturated with resin, so it's basically just a hard, lumpy plastic surface.
