Agreed,
navy blue for me as well.

But all three are great options.

I like orange, but navy is just fine too. I'd like VG-10 to keep the cost low, didn't jump on the last Jester sprint due to the cost and I think these small designs are better in FRN. To be honest, I don't really care what color it is as long as it's FRN and in the same price neighborhood as the manbug.

Just wondering, where are all British Racing Green people from previous poll?
But anyway I will enjoy orange as well as Navy and many other colors as long as they come with decent stainless steel. Sorry guys, I really do not like patina.

As well as carbon steel will kill my gift idea. I highly doubt that none-knife people will appreciate tarnished or rusted blades. Or appreciate SB steel.

Thank you. I knew that you are my friend

Landon,
Thank you for your thoughts. But I will buy several Navy blue anyway as long as it come with acceptable steel and I seriously doubt that SB Jester would kick out my g10 Jester from the key chain. If I ever buy carbon steel knife, this will be full size blade, which will see some use. Jester is used may be once in a week. So as Paul said even AUS6 is good enough. But I know, most of us kind of steel snobs.

This pole is the result of a different, older pole. Both of those options were included in the original pole, but were voted down. These 3 colors where the top 3 choices besides GITD, which doesn't seem to be possible.

I voted green. It doesn't look like that helped much. Landon is much better at PR than I :( :o

I had nothing to do with this. I am surprised that orange came from nowhere. I thought for sure this would be a neck and neck poll.

Might dark blue FRN be less likely than British Racing Green? I'm not sure how much work goes into creating a new batch of FRN but I doubt it would be justified with one sprint run of very small knives. So, bh49, if green comes in second...

Thank you for your thoughtfulness. I love dark green, but availability of Jesters at affordable price is more important for me than color. I would enjoy Jester in Orange or Navy Blue or Burgundy or Gray or Dark Green and few other colors as well.
