Re: Please Pardon the shameful sales pitch - Rock Jumper
I fall i love from the momment i saw the Rock Jumper.Exactly what i wished for so many years:no choil,backlock,wharnie and a full lenght cutting edge.I need 2 of course:one user and one safe queen.I only hope they will come in colors.
Whenever there is any doubt, there is no doubt.
Re: Please Pardon the shameful sales pitch - Rock Jumper
The sales pitch is not shameful but all of this talk without posting pics sure is. :) :spyder:
Re: Please Pardon the shameful sales pitch - Rock Jumper
It won't be long now. I'll be ordering one as soon as I see it available!

Re: Please Pardon the shameful sales pitch - Rock Jumper
After all the time I spent on this forum ten years ago asking for more sub-3” knives, I can’t believe I’m looking at this gem and wondering whether it’ll be big enough. Spent too much time carrying a Millie this summer.

Size of the Rockjumper imho is perfect for its intendet use, but I sure hope for a Rockjumper XL or even Leaf Jumper XL (the latter would basically give us a backlock Caribbean) in the furure for general EDC!

Re: Please Pardon the shameful sales pitch - Rock Jumper
I think this would actually be an ideal handle design for a Rock Hawk... think, Super Hawk without the choil (which I would much prefer).sal wrote: ↑Sat Aug 29, 2020 4:52 pmHi,
Thanx for all of the input. It's really appreciated. As I've said, this is a test piece. The "Handle forward" concept permits us to bring the edge to the handle. If the concept is well received, we'll make variations. We can add jimping on the spine in the future if that's what's wanted. We don't need a Boye Dent for safety, but we can add some type of indexing. Time will tell.

Re: Please Pardon the shameful sales pitch - Rock Jumper
I think some version of the handle forward concept should be on pretty much any lockback that doesn’t have a choil. Using that quarter inch of overall length for grippable plastic is just objectively better than using it for exposed tang.captnvegtble wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 6:50 amI think this would actually be an ideal handle design for a Rock Hawk... think, Super Hawk without the choil (which I would much prefer).sal wrote: ↑Sat Aug 29, 2020 4:52 pmHi,
