Hi folks,

I haven't had much time to hang out here recently so I may have missed it, but as I (mis?)understood it, I thought plain-edge ladybugs were scheduled to appear around Christmas time. I haven't seen any sign of them and was just looking around at various on-line sources today and couldn't find any sign of them.

I know that the Jesters were supposed to fill some of the Ladybug niche, but I really do prefer a splinter-picking sharp point, especially on small knives like that so I was still hoping more for the Ladybugs and I really don't see much value (for me) in 1/2 serrated blades that are that short.

So, what's the word? Are they available at all? Anybody know of a source?

Thanks.

Thanks, guys. It looks like Sal and Co. decided to forgo the PE Ladybug so I'll think about something else for now, maybe a Dragonfly in FRN (I have one with the CF handle and do love the design), but I was thinking about how nice it can be to have something as small as the Ladybug occasionally.

Well, I say a good alternative to a PE Ladybug would ge a PE Jester. They're currently available in a limited edition burgandy micarta scales. It's a very nice little blade.

I would also recommend that you pick up a Jester. It is very close to the Ladybug in size, but with improved ergonomics.

And if you really have your heart set on a PE Ladybug drop me an email. I have one that I'm going to trade out for a Jester as soon as that arrives.
