This will do a trick for me, but street price probably will be up 30-40%. Still prefer original grind and VG10. Actually I would buy 1-2 ZDP for myself and 2-3 for gifts.bearfacedkiller wrote:Why not make a British racing green zdp model to compliment those to existing product lines?

ZDP Jester
Hi Folks!
A Spyderco Jester ZDP-189 PE/SE British Racing Green FRN sounds fantastic to me. :cool:

Stay Sharp!
I'm not sure if a flat grind would be compatible with the Jester's design, due to the jimping spot on the nose of the blade. It seems like a flat grind on such a small blade might make the nose/tip too thin to still do the jimping like it is. If it would work, I'm all for a FFG...but the nose on the Jester is my favorite feature, so I think it's just about perfect as is.

Sal, I would assume that a new Jester would have a blade steel marking, making it easily distinguished from the old Lime green. Its a great color and clearly popular. I would be happy with any color really, but I don't see why lime green can't make a return- just mark the blade with the steel.sal wrote:We've already produced a green Jester. In order to make a new sprint, it would have to change from previous models (so as not to hurt the value of previous models). You can agree on a color that we've not used before, agree on an edge config or both and we'll do a run.

So many knives, so few pockets... :)

No chance of the Jester coming back as a standard production model seeing that the FRN moulds are already being used and the jig for the blade already exists - then past colours (of the old production versions) wouldn't matter?sal wrote:We've already produced a green Jester.

Either way, I'm in for a few for myself and lots as gifts.
If it has to be a sprint, I'm liking the BR Green PE ZDP189 sugestion, second choice, whatever is made other than maybe black. Bright "friendly" colours I think. PE and SE are both good in this size.

Never thought I'd see myself typing this, but how about lime green with a black blade. Still think steel markings and the :spyder: on the blade and that it would most likely have a screw pivot, all of which are absent on the originals would be enough to prevent collector angst over a lime green Sprint, but that's not my call to make. As alternatives, the orange, brown, or grey used on the FFG Delicas would all work for me, as would white, the tan used on the "PX only" Natives, or that hi-viz sort of yellow-green (chartreuse?) used on some safety gear.
As for edge type PE would be my choice. Don't own any of the original SE Jesters, so I'd almost certainly pass on SE Sprint, regardless of color.

Never say never. :) , but I also never thought that you will suggest black blade. BTW, I start to like an idea. Black blade looks good with lime green handle. :) At least on USN knivesThe Deacon wrote:Never thought I'd see myself typing this, but how about lime green with a black blade.

Just because it is related, is anyone else excited about the USN Forum Ladybug Hawkbill?bh49 wrote:Never say never. :) , but I also never thought that you will suggest black blade. BTW, I start to like an idea. Black blade looks good with lime green handle. :) At least on USN knives

Yes. I hope that both PE and SE will be available.xceptnl wrote:Just because it is related, is anyone else excited about the USN Forum Ladybug Hawkbill?
I am wondering, if anybody carries more than one key-chain knife on a key-chain? :eek:

Well, then we just need a lime green dragonfly then! :Dsal wrote:We've already produced a green Jester.

How about a white FRN jester?
I do like the suggestions too about still re-releasing a Lime green Jester but with an upgraded steel and screw construction. Problem solved!
You can't display a toad in a fine restaurant like this! Why, the good folks here would go right off the feed!
