This is a great little knife, and so cute. :D I added the fob today to give me a little more to grip.

I also picked up a Super Blue Delica. I guess I was in a gray handle kinda mood.

Great choice adding some grey to your collection. You couldn't have chosen wiser. I too love a lanyard on my Jester to ease plucking it from my watch pocket.

Makes a great neck knife if you throw it on a chain. Did you by chance pick it up from warriors and wonders?

Mine came from Warriors and Wonders. No lanyard or neckchain here...keychain duty, and you can probably guess what kind of truck I drive lol.

No, I got it at a gun show yesterday. I was looking for a chain today, but didn't find anything that I liked.
Great pic! I wish that I had your photo skills. :)

Very nice pickup, the G-10 Jester was my first Spydie! It chills on my lanyard as well, although I swapped the keyring with the clip on the Pico, makes it much easier to remove if the rest of the lanyard is in the way.

Toyota? Hmm... I don't really know trucks, so it was just a wild guess.

Jester is great. Mine rides in a CountryComm sheath on my keys (but no truck fob, just the Beta QR from Jason's Kickstarter, which I LOVE)

I agree! Outstanding photo, brother. Museum quality. Sal should hang that up in the SFO!

Congrats on Jester. I love mine. To my big surprise I love it more than burgundy micarta variant. :eek: Probably because it has liners. It is too bad that Spyderco discontinued them. Poor sale, I was told. And Ladybug selling better. I have no idea why somebody would take ladybug over jester.

You and me, both, Roman. I've never understood that.

That Jester blade sure has character! I also agree, but I picked up the Manbug G10! It is a nice match! :)

I agree with you both. The forward jimping is the key feature that stands out above the manbug or ladybug.

I've been looking high and low for a G-10 Jester without any success. Only place I've seen them is BBS and I'm reluctant to give them business at the prices they are charging. So disappointing that I got into Spydercos just a little too late to easily get one of these guys.

I have had an all Stainless Jester on my keychain for a few years now and find I use it more than any other knife I carry.

I've always wanted to do a ZDP blade swap on one of these, but I'm too cheap to pay what they're going for.

The only reason I can think of is that the LadyBug comes in ZDP. Now if we had a ZDP Jester, then that'd be my one keychain knife :D

I had the Jester and the Manbug side by side. I decided on the Jester for a couple of reasons. #1 they are harder to come by and a sprint model. #2 the shape of the blade is more unique and it gives it a smaller profile. #3 The Jester was priced a little less than the Manbug.

Now if I see that Manbug at next months gun show, then it will probably come home with me. Has anybody developed a cure for this Spydie addiction that has taken ahold of me? :D
