Mr. Glesser,
I humbly bow to you for your graciousness, your generosity. You truly hear those who call upon you and answer our heartfelt pleas.
I have begged in the past (forgive me for my oftenwavering faith) for such creations: flat ground Co-Pilotish knife and a plain-edge in the Ladybug size.
To see both come to fruition on this very thread is too much for me.
Thank you, sir! Now where are those Kleenex...

Thanx for the pics Brian. Nicely done.
Thanx also for the kind comments.
Chinook, The "trade off" between fine tip (often broken) and wider or thicker tip for strength is always an issue. In the Salsa, I made the tip wide so it could still be thin. The Jester is a little wider and a little thicker than the Ladybug tip.
The actual Jester model will be FRN, available in March 2002, in 3 colors with AUS-6 in the blade. No clip. It is the same overall size as the Ladybug. Should be a nice key chain or "loose change" piece.
The micarta version is just a preliminary variation for which only 1000 will be made.
The "Salsa" has an Anodized aluminum version in blue, green and a gray/tan. Nested Compression lock, AUS-8. The Titan version has an integral compression lock and is ATS-34.
The wire clip is left/right on the aluminum version, but the Ti version is right hand only. sorry 'bout that, making the holes for the left hand version of the integral lock version would affect the lock spring.
