Both RockJumper & LeafJumper have a MAP price of $92.05 (MSRP: $131.50).

Here are a couple of comparison pictures of the RockJumper & LeafJumper together:

This will be one of 3 scheduled/planned purchases coming up. Yeah, then there's the unanticipated surprises... But that being said I'm excited for this release and will definitely get a PE.

Outstanding design. Looks beautiful in a spyderco way and super functional and easy to open- spydie hole looks huge. Blade shape is sick, love the lower point. Also a good price IMO. Hope it sells a lot!

Okay, I'm in for this one.

There's something about it that reminds me of old school Spyderco, and I love that about it.

I think this is going to be my Manix and my Delica.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

I have a serrated Rockjumper on the way, so the Leaf version isn’t a top of the list knife for me right now, but I think either version is among Spyderco’s very best designs.
I hope they’re as successful as can be, so I can continue to talk about all the variations I’ve imagined without sounding too crazy!

Leafjumper looks great! I need to get it in-hand. What I’m eager to see is the Cliffjumper. I wonder what Sal will name the leaf-blade version of the Cliffjumper?

I can't wait for the k390 version. I may get the VG-10 one just to support the model.

i'd really like to see a leafjumper next to a manix. i guess, for starters, i should go see if i can find rockjumper comparison pics since they share the same handle.

How's this?

I forgot to link the thread. More comparison pics. All mine are at the bottom of page 8. For what it is worth, the Polestar has the exact same handle shape.

If I were a large knife retailer, with a good color-way for exclusives, I'd make the Leafjumper a stocked exclusive. Sort of a signature knife, if you will.

Can’t wait for the DLT Cruwear + OD Green. Also the BHQ M4 + Mint will be nice.

if rec did a leafjumper with their fde/od colorway, it would sell like hotcakes. that seems to be the most popular exclusive colorway, but maybe i'm biased.

i'd love to see an exclusive of this with a stonewashed blade (or ticn coating) and some kind of earth-tone green frn.

Got a Rockjumper on the way, should be here today. I was really waiting for the Leafjumper but the price was too good to pass up on the former. They'll likely replace my Delicas as I love the minimalistic ricasso on the Rock/Leafjumper and will likely prefer the slightly larger blade/handle.

Have they done any Seki models? I thought they were mostly on the Golden train.
