What's the (Spyderco) Silhouette?

Sounds like either it was a typo (although there's nothing even close to that name) or Spyderco changed the name before it reached production (Q maybe?), or for some reason it never reached production.
 
Looks like my second guess was correct and the "Silhouette" became the C35 Q. In the 1996 Ironstone Catalog the Q is described as having been voted "Overall Knife of the Year" at the 1995 Blade Show. Thanks to Ted van der Voorde, you can download a copy of that catalog here in PDF format, if you wish to see for yourself.

Very cool, thanks!
 
The name "Silhouette" was a registered trademark of a model made by another knife company. We didn't know that at the time. When they informed us, we changed the name to "Q".
