I'd be down for multiple K390 Jesters, but also really like your idea for an LN with Jester inspired blade.ZrowsN1s wrote: ↑Fri Mar 17, 2023 11:59 pmWhile 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 want a denim micarta Jester, and I don't really even care what steel they choose.
Re: Production K390 Jester
Yes, any Jester would be welcome in my collection, but especially a K390 variant.

Re: Production K390 Jester
Any "affordable" way to buy a Jester in the EU would get my money !
In the collection : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.

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

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

Re: Production K390 Jester
+1 on the ManJester. In the meantime we can feast on the soon-to-be-released leaf blade Manbug.
Re: Production K390 Jester
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.

Re: Production K390 Jester
I would like a slip joint similar to that, with a nice thin blade.

Re: Production K390 Jester
Remove that finger bump and make the handle a bit more neutral and you might have something.ZrowsN1s wrote: ↑Fri Mar 17, 2023 11:59 pmWhile we're throwing spaghetti at the wall, a Jester Blade Lil Native could have some potential.

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.

Re: Production K390 Jester
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....)austrian_spyder_fan wrote: ↑Sun Apr 30, 2023 11:31 amI like this design.

Re: Production K390 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 utilityEvil D wrote: ↑Sat Apr 29, 2023 5:00 amZrowsN1s wrote: ↑Fri Mar 17, 2023 11:59 pmWhile we're throwing spaghetti at the wall, a Jester Blade Lil Native could have some potential.
