That would be great =) Or even an original ATR blade in the Stretch FRN handle?
I know different locks and a multitude of fitment issues...but dang that would be cool.

And there's where I'd part company with you. I think the original Jester was **** near perfect. A steel upgrade is about the only change I'd consider an improvement. Changing the size or shape would make it into something else and, whether that something was bad, or good, it would not be a Jester. As for handle materials, I don't see switching from micarta to CF or G-10 as any different than switching colors of micarta.RJNC wrote:I've always felt that just changing handle colors on a knife is like palate swapping enemies in video games. So I'd love to see a totally re-designed Jester.

I like redesigns but the work needed always decreases the chance of being done. I assume the pipeline for Spyderco is jam-packed.RJNC wrote:I've always felt that just changing handle colors on a knife is like palate swapping enemies in video games. So I'd love to see a totally re-designed Jester.
There are knives I wish would make a reappearance like Deacon said where steel may be the only thing needing an upgrade. I need a vg10/micarta mini knife BAD :) .

I would leave micarta Jester size as is, just upgrade steel to VG10.Blerv wrote:+1

Regarding bigger Jester, I just would marry ATR blade with G10 superhawk handle. That would be one lovely knife.

I will add my name to the pile of people asking for just an upgrade in steel. It is a great little knife that is good at a lot of jobs. Giving it a better steel is all it needs to be an even better knife. I'll take whatever handle material is easier for Spyderco to make and get into my hands the fastest.
