As I indicated in my post, KBLB will not be selling spider silk. They will be selling silkworm silk (with a fibroin core) that is tougher than mundane silk. It may have other properties that distinguish it from mundane silk but, at its core, DS is still a fibroin-based silk. KBLB has never stated the silkworms are producing spidroin-based fiber.

Spiber has already produced and sold several luxury streetwear articles of clothing in various sizes. They have already achieved limited market acceptance for their brewed proteins, a feat KBLB has not even begun to match with their spun protein. Spiber also has a diverse set of brewed protein fibers targeted to different applications. KBLB is, for the moment, a one-trick pony.

I am NOT claiming KBLB has been knocked out of the game. I am claiming that KBLB has competition and Spiber is ahead of KBLB at this moment.
