Knife Joker GITD Jester 20CV!!

[steelcity16]

Nice, I'll grab a few if I can. Been waiting for a while for a Jester!

We've both pined for one of these in GITD! I rarely get time here anymore but I'm glad I was able to see this.

For sure! And while 20CV isn't my all time favorite, I am happy to see something aside from VG-10 like all of the other GITD models have been. Definitely a bonus.

I mean different steels for different knives. What steel would you rather have here (excluding Magnacut)?

I'd go with a salt model for keychain knives. H1 or LC200N would have been my preference. Not really a big deal though. I just like variety so I was glad for something different than VG-10.

20CV is like 90% as corrosion resistant as LC200N but has excellent edge retention, which I think is a better combo for tiny blades than high toughness and 100% corrosion resistance.

I like it :)

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

Indeed! Funny how things turn out...I thought the GITD result here back then was more of a joke (pun intended) but it seems Travis at the Knife Joker actually *might * have listened to the polls back then and actually went with the winner of the scales poll results!

This is super exciting! Almost bought a joker on eBay the other day. Glad I didn't!!!

I’m a hard no, but my wife might dig it if I can score one for her. It looks like a great box/package opener which is the majority of her folder uses.

Has anyone further informations?
Price? Shipping to Europe?

Same shop shipped the last exclusive he offered (LW Manix 2) to Germany. Shipping was $28.

Nice. Been carrying a Ladybug since the K390 dropped and looking forward to trying this much requested sibling.

I might have to bite on this one. I have been waiting a long time for a jester. Manbug’s are my office carry.

Pardon my ignorance, being new to Spyderco knives, whats the reason for the shape?

I like it.

I want one...are we thinking ~$65-$70?

$59.50

Definite buy for me. Two if I can get them. :)

I saw this on my social and thought I have to get one!

Anyone here into para cord? This will make an awesome lanyard knife.

I haven’t owned a Jester before but I often have a Ladybug or Manbug as a keychain knife so I am in for at least one. GITD wouldn’t be my first choice for scales but this will be a nice addition to the keychain rotation.

Tell that to my wife's Watu...

It didn't get the memo.

Here's the page for the big day... https://theknifejoker.com/product/spyde ... -cpm-20cv/

Edit to add: TheKnifeJoker is the one that ticked off some people when they dropped half an exclusives inventory in the middle of the night... just saying... you might want to keep an eye out.

Does she have particularly corrosive sweat or use it to gut salt water fish? I've seen 20CV hold up pretty well in corrosion tests by youtubers and Larrin. It could also be that she got a knife with an out-of-spec heat treat because that affects corrosion resistance too.

A few years back I cut into some freshly grilled sausage links and it actually stained the 20CV blade on my Manix. I took some Flitz to it pretty quickly and it restored the factory finish. 20CV proved to me that night that it is capable of patina/corrosion.
