I just picked up this dealer-exclusive Jester. It is set to drop in 10 days but the store is in my town so I was able to get one early.
It has 20CV steel, glow in the dark handle. It’s a three finger knife however it has jimping right before the tip so you can use your thumb, or your pointer finger, which I’m dubbing “point and slice.” The design makes the 4 1/2” OAL a lot more usable, it’s begging to be used this way. It locks up solid and feels sturdy, it’s light weight. It snaps closed with enough force that I’d put it on a necklace.
I see it cruising with me in a pair of khakis on the weekend, clipped in a backpack on a day hike, backup knife on a back-country trip or second backup knife on a hunting trip.

Now look what you've done. I have no will power to resist smalls. Lol.
 
Is there really a function to the blade shape on jester or just for looks? I get the spydie hole is bigger/easier open vs ladybug but just go w manbug for price. Curve on front of blade guess its useful w index finger opening box...guide the blade. As far as slicing ffg LB version better?
 
Holes are kinda all the same size; at least to my untrained eye.

The shape of the Jester gives it a stronger tip than some other versions.
 
Wouldn't hurt to give them a bath once in a while though 🤣;)
