If you have a lynch nw wire replacement clip and the clip screw & barrel from a df2 you can add a clip to any frn lb3 or Jester

That's pretty cool. I don't WANT a clip on my LB3, but it's tempting because I have a screw and wire clip here in my desk drawer.

Well I tried, but my wife said, “I can try it, but it’s so small.” And then we looked at the Jester and she said the same thing! Wait what!? :winking-tongue

Really though, she thought it was cute but it’s not joining her rotation (pink Native5, Endura4 and Delica4.) Oh well.

Mine went immediately into my watch pocket. I think it'll stay there for the next month or so. I have a LB HB on my keychain, but the jester in the watch pocket gets used a lot more often. I'm headed to California in a couple weeks, and I think I'll make the jester my only EDC while I'm there.

Mine arrived on time (huzzah) but I have not opened the box yet (boo) as I replaced the engine on my mower, then mowed the lawn in high-90’s temps with a feels-like rating of 106 F. That was a mistake. :hot-face :spiral-eyes
I made the same mistake at same temp but didn't have to replace the engine. Stay hydrated (but don't try to do it by breathing 95% humidity air) :hot-face
When I reached a certain age I got more stubborn but not wiser. :neutral

Back on subject, I opened one of the Jesters today. It nice having a Jester I can use now instead of the original that is too sentimental for me to risk losing or breaking. A little lock rock which I deem normal in backlocks without an internal stop pin.

I do hope to see more Jesters as exclusives. It would be a fun model to collect and more affordable as well.

any chance someone bought this just because they wanted a jester in 20cv and doesn't like the glow in the dark handle? i wouldn't mind giving my ladybug hawkbill a glow in the dark handle if you're trying to get rid of yours. :)

Heads up: Check your pivot screws. Mine was very loose. No threadlocker of any kind on it.

Finally took possession of my 2. I think this is my first order from KJ and I too love the little extras! Makes it feel like a holiday to open the box. Really like this little knife. Really Really like the blade shape and would love to see a larger version on a Dragon Fly.

Just got mine today. It's a cutie but it was also the dullest factory edge I've ever had on a spyderco. Wouldn't even slice paper.

That would be great, but I'd really like it with the same shape handle, scaled up an inch or inch-and-a-half longer overall length --> Jester XL! :tonque-out Excuse me for shouting, but with a pocket clip this would be a fantastic shirt pocket knife for use while driving or situations when it's difficult to get to your pants pocket.

Personally, if it didn't come with a clip, I would adapt a wire clip or use the Lynch wire clip substitute suggested by Spydergirl88, which I'm gonna order now to try on my regular size Jester.

I'm also thinking of buying a GITD Delica to keep it company... and maybe substitute a blade in the Delica... ideally a K390 Wharnie.

Edit: just bought one. They've got 'em for $90 now on eBay.

Does anyone who got this have an original Jester to compare it to? I’m curious to see if anything has changed since the last run.

The original was burgundy micarta.

I was reading/lurking here way back and I remember folks calling for Jester sprints. Well, here we are guys, and in 20cv nonetheless!
We've been waiting seven years! And the funny part is, it's exactly what the forum asked for! :cool:

This is a thread for a Jester sprint started seven years ago - viewtopic.php?f=2&t=64116
When I started that thread, I put glow in the dark in the poll as something I personally wanted, not something I thought we'd ever actually see. I only just found out it became real and, of course, it's sold out. Ugh.

This is the sort of thing that I like about this forum. I was scrolling down, saw Jabba's post, started kicking myself for deciding not to get a backup and wracking my brain trying to figure out how to get one now, wondering if the'd do another run. Then I scrolled down and SHAZAM!! Problem solved :smlling-eyes
