Thanks. This is a great reminder about size, fit and relativity.Spydergirl88 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 28, 2020 12:53 pm:D

A new Jester would rock. I think that's the blade shape i'd favor on a bug handle. :cool:abbazaba wrote: ↑Sun Jun 28, 2020 1:10 pmI've been carrying a Ladybug for a while starting with the pakkawood and now the K390. It seems like a small difference, but the added girth of the Manbug makes it so much easier for me to manipulate with XL hands. Hopefully I'll have a pakkawood and K390 version of it as well soon :)
Did a wharnie version of either ever get any traction? I like the pointier tip of the ladybug and think a wharnie would be even better in this size package.
Has anyone ever explained why the Jester was disco’d. I wish I had been ready for small Spydies before it went away.
Same! Although it's definitely more comfy with three fingers. :p
I agree. A Wharnie would rock. Kind of like the McBee idea in FRN/bug format.
The wharncliffe blade totally changed the Dragonfly for me so it wouldn't be a bad idea for the Ladybug in my mind.abbazaba wrote: ↑Sun Jun 28, 2020 1:10 pmI've been carrying a Ladybug for a while starting with the pakkawood and now the K390.

WOW! It appears to fit the hand so nicely. Where did you EVER find a Ladybug XL?

( Stretch - Rock Jumper ) Control of the blade is a critical part of designing a knife that will probably be sharp enough to get hurt if control is not there.

this is wonderful news. the rock jumper looks like a win to me too, while the delica just doesn’t agree with my hand. it’s not uncomfortable to hold a delica, but i prefer designs that are more comfortable. the manix 2 and native are great examples. the choil doesn’t bother me, but the swell after the choil makes for an insanely comfortable grip.sal wrote: ↑Sun Jun 28, 2020 6:59 pmHi David, It's always a design challenge to fit as many hands as possible.
