Here is mine. It is a very good knife.

I am so bummed that I missed out on the Rockjumper. I see a few places with the SpyderEdge version, but I’m really interested in a plain edge. I’m hoping that a sprint will come someday.

Does the Watu count?

Watu looks like a Wharncliffe to me...Great pix

Photo from last year. I may have added a wharnie Manbug and Endela since then.

Still on the lookout for a pre-loved Centofante 4 or Q-Ball at a reasonable price.

Here’s a PE version.

Check Deadwood Knives and you will happy ! MG2

Just got a D4 Wharn, standard model, and really like it. I still think Wharns are best in smaller knives like Dfly (lost mine at a high school wrestling dual in the stands) but this has loads of utility

I feel like the endela is the upper limit for wharncliffe length? The endura wharncliffe felt unwieldy. Maybe I wasn't used to it?

Thank you! Ordered it for a great price! I love the handle ergos of the Leafjumper, so I’ve been bummed I missed out on the Rockjumper as I’d have loved a Wharnie even more. Now I no longer miss out!

Sal has mentioned that the Leafjumper will likely get some sprints down the road. Hopefully, the same can be said for the Rockjumper. I’d love something beyond VG10.

One of my favorite wharnies

Just a few . MG2

Both of the Jumpers were released in K390.

Edit: I'm wrong. There was no Rockjumper in K390

Forgive me since I am pretty new to Spyderco, but is that a Para 3?

Yes , sadly no K390 , but must say the Rockjumper SE performs very well in VG10 . I need to try a Leafjumper someday. MG2

Spyderco's got a great selection of wharnies, but I've had to get some stuff done on my own on the rare occasion

It's the Paramilitary 2 actually. It's a Cutlery Shoppe exclusive Wharncliffe, sporting applied weapons tech scales. The model normally came with Orange G10 scales but I wanted those on another PM2 I had.
Here's what it originally looks like https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/detail ... usive/2330

Unfortunately if you want one, you'll have to scour the secondary market as they've long since sold out from Cutlery Shoppe and last I heard they won't be doing another run of them.

I feel somewhat the same way, and I say that as someone who has used a wharncliffe (the Yojimbo 2) as his primary work/EDC knife for almost 8 years, so it's not like I'm inexperienced with or biased against wharncliffes (it's my favourite blade shape for the work that I do).

The issue—if it can be called that—with the Endura 4 Wharncliffe is the combination of the blade's length, the prominent thumb ramp, and the blade's orientation relative to the handle. When you grip the E4W how it feels like you should (thumb on the thumb ramp or resting just above or slightly behind it) and you want to raise the blade's tip while keeping your forearm in a fixed position, it takes a much more dramatic "radial" tilt of the wrist to do so than when compared to a standard Endura 4 or an Endela Wharncliffe.

Actual, real-world cutting is a dynamic process that involves multiple, simultaneous fine motor movements and adjustments, and even this small change in ergonomics can make using the E4W feel "off", particularly if one is used to the standard Endura 4. However, I think if one has no biasing prior experience with the standard Endura 4 or the shorter Delica 4 Wharncliffe and Endela Wharncliffe, this isn't a problem at all.

Note that this isn't really an issue when transitioning from the Yojimbo 2 to the YoJumbo (which has an even longer blade than the E4W) because the latter doesn't have a thumb ramp—it has the opposite of a ramp, more of a cutout for the thumb to occupy on the blade spine. Raising the tip of the YoJumbo's blade can be achieved by a combination of sliding the thumb up into this cutout and tilting the wrist upward in the radial direction in an angle not too dissimilar from that required when using the Yojimbo 2.

Yeah that's what I remember, the e4w was hard to aim. Almost hawkbill-esque
