St. Nick's Knives - Exclusive Jester Red FRN CPM 4V Black Coated Blade
St. Nick's Knives - Exclusive Jester Red FRN CPM 4V Black Coated Blade
I saw a post in another thread asking if there'll be a specific thread for the upcoming SNK Jester exclusive. It hasn't been officially announced yet that I know of. The drop date hasn't been made public yet either. So we'll update here once SNK has posted more info on social media.

I am very much looking forward to this one after passing on their last two models. I wonder how many were produced?

Perfect key chain knife.

I wonder if Spyderco and St. Nicks Knives wants this thread to exist yet? Spyderco made a mistake by listing this knife publicly and it was removed as soon they became of aware of it. Probably too late for them to do anything about it now though.
None the less, I’m excited for this one.

I'm not a small knife guy, nor like additional clunky things on my keys...but this will be very hard to resist. When it drops, I'm going to guess it will take longer than 5 minutes to sell out. Hopefully everyone around here that wants one can get one!

I asked them about it on IG a few days ago when the P3 dropped, and they pretended they didn’t know anything about it but used the hashtag “maybesoon”…

Re: St. Nick's Knives - Exclusive Jester Red FRN CPM 4V Black Coated Blade
All the talk about putting MagnaCut in an appropriate knife due to the characteristics of the steel, and now we have this.
Not saying I don't love it. It's just hilarious to me.

I don’t think it matters at this point. It’s public knowledge now. This thread only increases the awareness of the knife, so I see it as a benefit to the companies as well as us.Mushroom wrote: ↑Fri Feb 18, 2022 10:04 amI wonder if Spyderco and St. Nicks Knives wants this thread to exist yet?

Are you saying that this should have been magnacut? I’m all for new and exciting steels, and new product using variations of such; however, if everything is released in magnacut then my interest will drop very quickly. Material diversity is why I continue to buy Spyderco knives. MAGNACUT EVERYTHING!!!(tm) would be a bore and turn me off from future purchases.

Re: St. Nick's Knives - Exclusive Jester Red FRN CPM 4V Black Coated Blade
I’m sure this exclusive was ordered some time ago. St. Nicks does ruby red with 4V as their “thing”, not sure why anyone would expect a change up to this scheme.

Re: St. Nick's Knives - Exclusive Jester Red FRN CPM 4V Black Coated Blade
My apologies if I’m wrong but I believe David was just pointing out the ironic humor in a knife like the Jester using a steel like 4V. Except using more recent discussions of Magnacut as an example. I do not think he was suggesting this knife should have been in Magnacut.
I actually seem to remember similar things being said about 4V itself back when the Province was released. Something along the lines of 4V is more appropriate in a knife like the Province and not so much in folders. Yet here we are with a 4V Jester!

Oh I know that feeling, I've sat through more sprint series than I can list because I wasn't interested in the steel. I'm gonna have to say on this one you may just want to look the other way because it's inevitable. They will indeed MagnaCut everything, at least everything that is financially doable (meaning can the factory work with the steel, etc). I've had to sit back and watch pretty much any steel you can name be requested in practically every knife. People are just excited. It does get repetitive but I love the excitement. If the steel isn't for you, well again I know the feeling because it's happened to me too.
But no I wasn't suggesting that. I was saying the idea that only steels that make sense for the intended use of the knife, as in "MagnaCut in a small folder doesn't make sense, put it in a fixed blade instead" but here we have 4V in a Jester. I'm saying it's a silly argument even though it does make sense, because Spyderco doesn't adhere to that sort of logic and never really have.

Re: St. Nick's Knives - Exclusive Jester Red FRN CPM 4V Black Coated Blade
I'm in, if I can. I expect this one to sell quickly just for the sub-$100 price and colorway. I really don't care about the steel one way or the other on this model, I'd be OK with AUS8, 440C, VG-10, whatever.

I'll be keeping an eye out for this one. Love the Jester. Love the colors. No way I'm missing this drop!
Re: St. Nick's Knives - Exclusive Jester Red FRN CPM 4V Black Coated Blade
I considered waiting but it's already been posted and discussed in the SNK Para 3 thread. It was also posted in at least two Spyderco Facebook groups. So the cat's been out of the bag for awhile. I happen to know the guys at SNK are well aware it was leaked. I would think if Kristi (or Sal etc) didn't think it should be posted those posts would've disappeared. I would have no problem if this thread was removed but I don't think it's doing any harm now. We're just promoting it a little earlier than they might've plannedRinzler wrote: ↑Fri Feb 18, 2022 11:49 amI don’t think it matters at this point. It’s public knowledge now.

Re: St. Nick's Knives - Exclusive Jester Red FRN CPM 4V Black Coated Blade
In my IG exchange with them last week, I mentioned specifically that their pic had been posted here on the forum and that “the cat was already out of the bag”. I’m not on FB so I can’t follow the discussion there.
