Spyderco Forums

In a thread a while back, it was asked who comes up with the names for Spydies. Well, I don't have a clue, but whoever named the Jester sure got it right.



My cute little burgundy micarta version has found a home, untethered in the bottom of my pants pocket, ready for the lighter tasks of the day.



Upon opening, I swear the upswept blade is smiling at me. It playfully tackles the mundane, ne'r complaining. It's a letter opener, lottery ticket scratcher, end of my banana cutter-offer, rogue thread remover. These tasks and more it skillfully juggles while bringing, dare I say, joy to life's little cutting tasks.



Huzzah to the crew that brought us this beauty.



(And at only 20 bucks a pop, I'm waiting for a pink and lime to join the micarta.)



Anyone else surprised by this little knife?



Fare-thee-well,



Ken K.

Try again for my stupid image..

One more time...

Dear bergebo ;
I believe someone posted that the names were selected by the design team. You can also
e-mail Sal ( sglesser@spyderco.com ) I'm sure
he'll give your query person attenion.

Hey bergebo :

I'm on the way to getting a "jester" in fuschia to offset my EDC ( now Meerkat,probably cricket when I get another one ) I must admit, quite a fine knife! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
Definitely worth buying about 100 or so! <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

"...and let him that has no <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> sell his coat and buy one..." ATE <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

ATE,

By fuschia, do you mean the hot pink one? If so, it and the lime green one are very bright and eye-catching.

Great choice as a secondary or even tertiary blade.
