3" blade

Thanks a lot, Sal! :)

Great, cause in this particular design this should mean about 3" of cutting edge either.

Most likely a rather compact folder with just enough edge (of about Endela-/Stretch 2 length).

Can't wait!

My only worry with this knife is that it won't be offered in SE. Then again if it's designed around cutting rope and such I don't see why it wouldn't be.

David, according to Sal there will be an SE version! :)

Awesome I missed that post. Now we just need a Salt/LC200N version :D

That's kind of a bummer, I was hoping for more like 3.5. Too soon to talk about an XL version?

I also would not mind a larger version, but in that design (edge all the way to the handle) 3" of blade should mean 3" of edge... that's at least PM2-ish, and a good length for most tasks imho. And if used as a dedicated climbing knife even the perfect choice.

Sure it is kind of an "Endela-Rockjumper", let's hope it sells well enough to justify an "Endura-Rockjumper" someday...

Yeah with it (probably) being an honest 3 inches of edge length it should make for a good user, I've just really adjusted to the size of my Caribbeans which are a little closer to 3.75. It won't be enough to push me away but I would definitely prefer a larger version. Who knows maybe this will be popular enough to become it's own family of knives like the Delica/Endela/Endura and come in a few different sizes.

3” is awesome for me. Perfect user length. Sorry bros. I do miss out on a few knives because they’re over 3”, though.

Is it just me, or does the handle look like a refined/evolved Delica?

Maybe this mold can be used for the next generation of Delica?

Seeing as there is already a wharncliffe Jumper and a leaf in the works, I doubt it will be used for the Delica 5. Some aspects could be carried over thought, like the "swell" in the handle. I think that could be used in a new Delica design

I am NOT a rock climber at all, but I could see many, many very practical uses for this design that don’t even involve rope cutting. The SE FFG VG-10 Wharncliffe design alone ensures that. And it is an acceptable carry size in most(?) locations.

But if I were a climber, I would personally rather have a knife on me and not need it, than to need one and not have it. The key is responsible knife use, whether you are a climber or not. Anybody who is overly gung-ho about using their knife at the drop of a hat, even when inappropriate (again, whether a climber or not) is not trustworthy. I cannot imagine that would color my opinion to not carry one myself. It’s everything to do with the person. It’s not as if the knife has the power to possess a responsible person to use it inappropriately just because it’s there.

Ok. So if the leaf jumper has the leaf shape blade. Then why oh why didnt spyderco call this the Cliffe Jumper. :D

Had to name it something. I thought about calling it "Sue", but then I remembered the song.

What no pic yet? Here you go.

Hmmm looks like this one needs a hawkbill version too!

Oh yes! I probably won't buy the Rock Jumper because it's too similar to the warncliff Delica I already have, but a hawkbill version of this would be awesome. Similar to the Superhawk, but better because there isn't a choil, and in lightweight FRN!

Does anyone know which deep carry clips fit this model? I see a few options on MXG that look like they'd fit this hole arrangement but the Rock Jumper isn't listed specifically. I'm wondering which length will land on the smooth spot.
