Production K390 Jester

[Enactive]

While we're throwing spaghetti at the wall, a Jester Blade Lil Native could have some potential. Ditch the thumb hole hump and keep it flat like the lil native and then have it dip into a generous Jester style thumb divot. Keep the saber grind and tip the same. Would be a little tank of a knife.

Some quick and dirty photo shop, I tried to keep it within the borders of the lil native blade so it should fit the handle, obviously they'd need to tweak it a little to find the optimal fit.

I don't mind what you call it. I would use one of these.

I'd be down for multiple K390 Jesters, but also really like your idea for an LN with Jester inspired blade.

I want a denim micarta Jester, and I don't really even care what steel they choose.

[dsm]

Yes, any Jester would be welcome in my collection, but especially a K390 variant.

Make this in Backlock and take my money

[Ramonade]

Any "affordable" way to buy a Jester in the EU would get my money !

Micarta or stainless steel handle and I’d pick up one

I like this n5 adaption.

I don’t have any interest in a key chain knife, all the power to you that like it though.

Maybe it is already in the works

Though we wouldn't be able to add it as regular production, but it would make a nice Sprint for those that didn't get a chance to "taste" the design when they were out.

Curious why??

[steelcity16]

Any new Jester I am in for. K390, Cruwear, Crucarta, G10-Carta, H1 SE Salt, whatever.

[steelcity16]

I also wouldn't mind seeing a Jester in a Manbug handle.

[olywa]

+1 on the ManJester. In the meantime we can feast on the soon-to-be-released leaf blade Manbug.

[CDEP]

A K390 Sprint followed by a DLC Cruwear OD Green DLT exclusive would be instant buys for me.

I could not like this concept any more than I do. I can feel my thumb stretching out over that blade. Great idea, perfect for a small frame knife like the Lil Native so you can easily get your thumb or index finger on the forward spine-choil spot.

Only thing that could make this better for utility use might be to make it a wharncliffe, but this version would also be great for skinning.

I would like a slip joint similar to that, with a nice thin blade.

Remove that finger bump and make the handle a bit more neutral and you might have something.

I can't believe I am reading such blasphemy on this forum .

I got some denim micarta scales for a Mule, as 'pattern' scales. I would love them contoured, but not so much flat - it's like wrapping a knife handle in faded bluejeans.

[austrian_spyder_fan]

I like this design.
Also the Jesterfly whould be a nice option.

I've never been able to get the Jesterfly out of my mind since I saw the mock up. Getting a couple Jesters didn't help either. I'd take the Jesterfly over the Lil' Jester Native (hmmm in many Native American traditions, the Coyote is often referred to as a Jester....)

A straight (or straighter) edge is a good idea. I tend to prefer them to the more curved skinner type blade shapes. As you say much more geared to utility
