I have a Jester and I do like it. I have always thought that it would be nice if there was a Dragonfly sized Jester.
So many knives, so few pockets... :)

At the office, I've been EDC's a SS Jester for a couple of years. It's alot more knife than you think in a tiny package. Like Paul, I've got a couple of the burgandy micarta variations hanging around, but I favor the stainless for office duty.

I do miss the Jester, but like both. The Jester kinda reminds me of a pint-sized ATR.

WOW!!! That would be a keeper. I got a very used pink one on the bay. Serrations were filed down kinda short but its still nice. I'll carry it during breast cancer awarness month.

+1 on a sprint run, micarta in any color. VG10 or H1 :)
only few FRN on ebay once a blue moon, didn't see any micarta so far.

I was sorry to see the Jester retired and, at the very least, would love to see the micarta version broght back for a Sprint Run. But I also know I'm set for life since I have several "back up copies" for the burgundy micarta one that keep my keys company. :D

I would be all for it. That would be a nice chunk of VG10 and a powerful cutter. :D

Go just a bit bigger and get an ATR. It has the same blade shape and is a great knife to EDC.

I do love my little ss jester. But I have to say the ladybug III has really grown on me and I really look forward to the H1 version.
