it may be a little early, but...
can we get a damascus and grey/black zome rockjumper like the delica and endura that just came out? i need a little extra to make me push the button on the rockjumper because it's so close to what i already have and this would definitely push me over the top. it's such a beautiful combination and would be amazing on a rockjumper. thanks. :)

Re: it may be a little early, but...
I’d agree that the rockjumper is in need of some material variations. I’d be for your suggestion of that zome/dama configuration. But considering the knife’s work oriented design, I’d assume k390 is coming first. Although cladded hap40 would also be welcomed.
This model is sticking around for a while. No doubt it will get the same array of materials as the rest of the frn seki line.

Lightly insane.

Re: it may be a little early, but...
And honestly it's different enough to warrant getting on it's own merits. Doesn't feel like an Endura/Endela at all. Really feels like a choil-less Stretch 2 but with a bit more blade and in a Wharnie blade at that. But I would love some steel and color options until I can finally talk a scale maker into making some custom ones.
Re: it may be a little early, but...
i agree that it's very different. it's basically perfect as an frn/backlock model. it answers the ergonomic problems i have with the delica perfectly. however, the main knives i carry are a pac salt se along with a manix or yojimbo. and i just got a caribbean sheepsfoot se in hopes to pare it down to one knife. anyway, i have more great knives than i have pockets and days in the week. the rockjumper looks great, but i want something a little extra if i'm going to work it into the rotation at this point. i may end up with one anyway, but it would be awesome in this combo.Bemo wrote: ↑Thu Nov 19, 2020 8:56 pmAnd honestly it's different enough to warrant getting on it's own merits.

Re: it may be a little early, but...
The Rock Jumper seems to cry for variants just right from the beginning... :)
Some weeks ago I even started a dedicated thread already: viewtopic.php?t=87759
One variant this model definitely should get: A linerless, high-viz-colored version. Meant to be a climbing and outdoor knife (though it certainly is a great general EDC blade either) this is what many climbers will want (even lighter weight and a bright color).
A green Salt version (like the ffg Pac Salt) would do the trick, and also appeal to the many who generally do like the Salt line.

Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)

Re: it may be a little early, but...
I think it's inevitable, we'll see sprints and exclusives. They went all in and brought out a new model in FRN, invested in those molds instead of the typical G10 feeler knife to see how it'll sell, I think they'll want to get their money's worth from that investment.

Re: it may be a little early, but...
I think it begs fir the LC200N and bright green combo.

Re: it may be a little early, but...
Indeed Doc Dan, the RockSalt seems to be destined. Ok a bit melodramatic but still.....
Re: it may be a little early, but...
Indeed there already is a Rock Salt.

As well as an orange handled sprint.
Not to discourage you, maybe add a twist. :D

Ah well there goes my attempt at naming a model... Maybe next time. Thanks forth history lesson!
