Maybe the Jester could be made in the USA?

I'd like a Squeak sized sheepfoot, too; or even a Jesterfoot.

Really like this combo. Not being in the USA seems to mean it's a lot easier to look past the country of origin.
Did the bug come like that, or did you have the spine re-ground? That looks dope AF, and I like the jimping at the end.

I voted yes, because tiny, functional knives are amazing, and a tiny, Golden-made backlock Magnacut Salt knife would be awesome.

It would be awfully hard to beat the Ladybug and Jester from Japan and the Roadie from Italy. The Jester is the perfect keychain pocket knife IMO. If you use your key chain knife to clean out your fingernails then the Ladybug may be better for you.

Seki-City has been doing great stuff with small stuff for decades and that’s all based on personal relationships that Sal forged long ago. Why in the world anyone want that changed?

Moreover, the Golden queue is mighty long. What advantage would come with adding to it.

If it happens, it'll be a new design specifically made in Golden.

I SERIOUSLY doubt that Sal would have a Seki-made design be moved from Seki over to Golden.

As I love the Lil Native for being a more robust G-10 clad answer to the Dragonfly, I would welcome a G-10 answer to the manbug from Golden.

No, I already have a few small knives that I seldom carry and almost never use, and my keychain is too complicated as is! I don't really care where my knives are made, so that part doesn't resonate either.

There are lots of small traditional knives with a wide variety of patterns. Many people collect and use them, few are on keychains. The problem as I see it is that not enough are Spydercos. Small, affordable, collectible, one hand open and close. What’s not to love?

If I ever EDC a micro-sized Spydie again, I won't put it on my keyring. I hate having a knife on my keyring, having the keys hanging from it when I'm using it. I'd just drop it down in my pocket, like any 'traditional' pocket knife.

I carry a Dog Tag folder on my keychain and a Bug in my tactical badge holder. The Bug goes through cardboard like a razor! Not concerned where the knife is made, within reason.

Yeah it's a Jester and 100% the way it came from the factory. This one is a Knife Joker Special and there was also a St Nicks in red and black around the same time.
