I have been EDCing my Jester for a while now, and have found myself leaving my SOG Blink in the truck, the Jester works fine. I lost my Ladybug, thats why I switched to the Jester, but this knife is a little powerhouse! I especially like the CNC machined grooves on the back of the blade. Does Spyderco make an equivalent to this? I am trying to remember whether I posted this question, I know that I asked Spyderco customer service, and they told me they didn't make a large size Jester, not really what I asked, but what the hell. Any help is appreciated.
 
Spyderco makes the jester, so I'm not sure what you're asking.

Does spyderco make a larger jester?

I think the "spur" is pretty close in blade shape.
 
Something with the same blade shape, preferably 3.5" or larger, with the CNC grooves on the spine of the blade, near the tip and the back. Handle scales don't really matter.

Maybe something like the Impala without the guthook?
 
Off the top of my head, I don't know of any other Spydie that has the forward grooves. The discontinued Wegner Jr does have the rear grooves. I can not answer as to whether the Pro-Grip / -Venator model has the rear grooves.

A little time with a file could put some grooves on any of the similar blades.

the impala, without the guthook, has the grooves on the front part of the blade, as well as on the choil, and on the 'hump' behind the hole, as a thumb ramp. if I am correct, the blade is over 3.5 inches.

I just got a SS/SE jester today and I find it extremely similar to the impala except for the size.
hope this helps

The hooked Impala is also notched ahead of the hook.
 
What SLVGX said! Only the ATR doesn't have grip serrations at its point, so it's not quite as good as the Jester. Also, you only get to choose between Ti and steel handles, but the Jester has steel and several colors of FRN. The Jester also has a stronger blade detent by having a back lock. It also looks less psychotic when clipped to a key chain.
