Not trying to shout, just trying to make it easier for Sal to read my response quickly. I guess he'll get your response really quickly! :D

This is the Jester. I would leave it as is, just upgrade steel to VG10.
I need two. Micarta is good.

Any idea when these will be in production or for sale? How will it work? Just curious.

Did we get a poll from another forum? The poll I did on the USN, the majority was for textured.

I'd still like to see the Jester have an updated handle, like they did with the Ladybug 3.

sal wrote:Hi all,

There was a request and a thread on our making a Jester Sprint run. There were requests for a handle other than FRN.

My thoughts were to make the scales from G-10. Thoughts were for gray as a possible color as ther isn't much gray around. My question is; if we make gray G-10 scales for a Jester Sprint run, would you want the scales to be polished smooth, or peel-ply?

sal

Yes please! I'd take a gray G-10 handle however it's finished. I'd prefer a texture but polished is fine. Full flat grind possibly sir?

You do realize that the LBK3 handle came from the Jester? :D It's the same.
So what's wrong with it?

I've never seen one with the jimping up by the tip. Nice touch for controlled cuts with such a small knife.

It doesn't always show up well in photographs. For example it would be easy to miss it on the black FRN one below. However, AFAIK, all of them had it.

Huh. The jimping on the catalog and forum photos I've seen didn't show up at all. Definitely a good feature.

Smooth scale material is my preference, though I'll get one no matter what the final production decision is.

I'd go for rough ... the Jester's jimping is all about grip so to have smooth scales seems to be going against the principles of the knife's designers :)
My spydies: Squeak, Tenacious, Terzuola, D'Allara, UKPK CF peel-ply pre-production, UKPK CF smooth pre-production, UKPK G10 orange leaf-blade, UKPK FRN grey drop-point, UKPK FRN maroon leaf-blade, Bug ... all PE blades :)

After getting the Moonglow manix 2. I think a keychain knife screams to have this material. It is smooth but on the manix there is enough jimping that its not an issue.
