Thanks Remnar! I was wondering how it compared with the Jester. Timing is excellent! So do you have any other info on this knife, other than what the Spyderco website has? How do you like the Maroon Micarta handle? At least you have some photo skills! I have none! :D

Mine has the black micarta. Maroon would be cool though. I find the Jester to be a lot easier to get a good grip on and it just feels sturdier to me.
Thanks Remnar! I wonder what different handle colors this knife came in? Yeah the G10 is better than smooth micarta! Guess you can tell I don't have computer skills either! HA, HA!
M80, thanks for the pictures! Is your knife the black micarta or the maroon, I can't tell? Just looked at the pictures of the knife I just purchased and , honestly I can't tell if it is maroon or black! Black is fine but it looks like a dark maroon to me! :confused:

If you like combo edge, the Baby Goddard should make a great key chain knife. If they ever offer a plain edge version, and retain the unlined micarta handle, I might consider replacing the burgundy micarta Jester I've been carrying for 10+ years with one.
Here's a shot of both the original black (or dark green, depending on who you ask) and Sprint Run Burgundy versions...
BG was my keychain knife for many years. From when it shipped until a couple years ago when I switched to a G10 Jester. I like the BG a lot, but I like the Jester even more. As some mentioned, it feels sturdier and I like the finger ramp on top.

If Spyderco would make PE with original grind, I will certainly but one. I never had BG for only one reason CE. I am not sure, if this knife would replace my Jester, not likely. Still I would buy it. But has to be PE and not FFG. I love FFG on most of my knoves, but FFG on sprint kind of ruined for me.

Thanks to every one! Looking at Deacon's photo of the black(dark green) next to the burgundy, it's definitely the burgundy! I'm going to have to ask my stepson the next time he is over to help me with the posting of pictures!!! First I need to get a cell phone!(not) I'll have to use his! :spyder: :spyder: :D
I had an original and a burgundy sprint. I love these knives - very light weight and classy looking. The only problem I have is that they are so small and light that I left one accidentally in my front suit pants pocket. The suit went to the dry cleaners and I never saw it again.
As much as I like mine, it's a nice keychain knife with an excellent grip, I'd wish the opening hole was a tad bigger. That's why I prefer the Jester or Ladybug 3 series.
