46 views and no replies yet so does nobody know or is this to touchy of a subject seeing as how they almost got shut down over this knife?
 
The Spydiewiki page Rycen referred you to has the basics. The first post in this thread in the Restricted Items subforum of the Spyderco Factory Forum expands on the legal aspects. You might also want to visit this page and download the PDF versions of the catalogs of that period, they might contain other tidbits of interest to you. As for who designed it, like most "in house" designed Spydercos at that time, the Spyderfly was not attributed to any one individual. Only someone from Spyderco could say for sure, but I suspect the answer would be that an number of people had a hand in it even if Sal was responsible for 99% of it.

FWIW, perhaps the uiltimate irony is that there are now some fake Spyderflys out there, no doubt imported from China.
