Well I hope the finish updating their site soon. I can't even get it to the home page to start an account. Just get the rolling circle of perpetual loading.
Their whole site is sluggish but the home page is horribly slow sometimes. Here's the "my account" page link... https://theknifejoker.com/my-account/ it should load faster :D
Thanks I managed to create an account via my phone and now can log in via my laptop But it wasn't easy.

I don't have a Jester yet. Don't have a Ladybug or Manbug either (though I have or had the 3 bug slipjoints, think I gave one or two away and the other(s) are here as well as my slippie Kiwi), but I always thought that the shape would lend itself to better control so was meaning to try one. Great steel and GITD? I guess I know what I'm doing on Saturday.

The site has consistently refused to load in Firefox, stuck in a perpetual loading loop. Chrome--loaded right up today. I've got my account set up and ready.

It will be a desaster. Especially for non US.
The page is slow now and there is not much going on.
3 pieces limit means less people will get one.

It was news to me that the scales were interchangeable with Ladybug (thanx, Spydergirl88). I was thinking the Jester was a hair bigger, but I still want one plus a backup incase I want to mod one :D , also, free shipping effectively makes the 2nd one a bit cheaper.

PayPal checkout allows anyone to pay via credit card. They’re essentially a credit card processor with an extra step for checkout.

So internally it looks just like a shrunk Pacific Salt! In case anybody didn't already know, that proves it's a "real knife"! :spyder: :)

I'm not so sure. Hard to call this one. The GITD Ladybugs, Dragonflies, and Delicas all are still available. I think the Jester is popular here in our echo chamber with some fans, but I am not sure it is popular enough to get an instant sell out. A lot of people aren't into GITD or keychain knives. I think one that was part of an existing popular exclusive series like St Nicks 4V, BHQ M4, or REC PVD would have a much better shot of an instant sell out due to people collecting the whole series or flippers speculating on the popularity of the series.

That said, I am in for 3 as a Jester superfan. :D

I like you, steelcity, but I swear if all those Jesters are gone Saturday morning, there'll be trouble.

I carry swiss army, fixed blade, and a folder already, and even a multitool sometimes, not sure where a keychain knife fits honestly, my keys are heavy and annoying enough as is

I would carry this 5th pocket of jeans... Not a fan of knives on keychains. Adding a tiny flashlight on a keychain with this knife only is pretty great

FYI to the forum - the Knife Joker website came back briefly today. Wanted to check my account info before the jester drop and was able to log into my account without a password!!!
If your email was in their data base, it was wide open. Tried a buddy’s email (with his permission and a knife joker account) got right in, no password required or account verification. This is not good - change ur passwords and watch out for a data breach.

What a nice "joke" from KnifeJoker.
Their website has poor performance usually, and making the order was always a pain. I doubt they can succesfully handle that traffic overload at the start of Jester sale.
btw, seems they had fixed it: right now account login does require the password.
