Re: Knife Joker GITD Jester 20CV!!
I finally caved. I’ve been telling myself I don’t need this. On the other hand, if I’m being honest there are many days where this is probably all the knife I need and I want to try the little knife out. It’s a niche I don’t have filled. I also like 20cv, M390 et al and since it’s basically the price of a K390 ladybug I figure it will be good to try it out. I also bought a spare in case I like it. I’ve found having a spare of something I couldn’t other wise easily replace makes me more likely to routinely use it. Also I may gift the the extra one to someone. With only about ten left in stock I decided it was probably now or never.

I'm happy to see that KJ ordered enough to go around, including for those who needed time to think about the purchase for a minute. Good job KJ.

Re: Knife Joker GITD Jester 20CV!!
I'm not sure they ordered any more than other dealers do on other exclusives. I think it was just a less popular model and color (lots of people hate GITD in the same way I hate Zome), so the demand wasn't nearly as high as the latest and great PM2 or Shaman.

I'm pretty sure it was at the new Spyderco recommended level or larger and not the older much smaller minimum quantity that Spyderco had for exclusives. Sal talked about minimum quantities and all that a couple of years ago after the uproar over how quickly all the exclusive were selling out and how many were going to flippers.

Re: Knife Joker GITD Jester 20CV!!
Reasons why it sold slower than most exclusives: Too small size-wise, website buggy, gitd scales, relatively unknown model. Either way it looks like the people that were clamoring for one got one. So thank you Spyderco and KnifeJoker for listening to your customers and re-releasing this classic gem.

I'm willing to bet that a lot of people gave up due to a really buggy website. I still cannot get into my account to check the order status. I have the confirmation email but haven't received a shipping notice, so I'm just going to assume I'll get it sooner or later.
I thought about ordering one for a friend, but decided it's not worth the pain of using this website.

Re: Knife Joker GITD Jester 20CV!!
Have you tried going directly through the link to the product listing page? I can't get the main page to load at all, but (following advice in this thread) I've been able to get in and check the order by bypassing the main page.
FWIW, I got my shipping notice yesterday.

This is the direct link to the account page at KJ. https://www.theknifejoker.com/my-account/
Their DNS records are not complete so you need to use the full URL and not just theknifejoker.com
My order is still "processing". I have to remind myself that they are not one of the big guys, so I need to remember to be patient.

Re: Knife Joker GITD Jester 20CV!!
Lets just say I've put far more effort than should be required just to troubleshoot this website. If the site owner can't fix it, well I'm just not going to use it.
I just got my shipping notice, so case closed.

I finally got a couple last night. Thanks to Travis at the shop. Had to ship to our US office instead of to me; the site was a bit grey because you can set the currency to CAD for the order but they won't unlock Canada as a ship too address. Had to do that in the past with other stuff that had distributor agreements that were no export.
Re: Knife Joker GITD Jester 20CV!!

Re: Knife Joker GITD Jester 20CV!!
Ship notice received, so not the fastest, but perfectly acceptable. They just need some work on their website and DNS records.

Re: Knife Joker GITD Jester 20CV!!
I'm guessing Travis ordered maybe less than a thousand of these...it's not quite an in-demand knife to sell out relatively fast (compared to your standard PM2 /Para3 /Shaman exclusives sellout lifespan). Pretty much conjecture on my part though.
