Leaf Salt Jumper. If linerless salt out the gate, I would bet sales would be high.

May your feet be warm and dry and your throat warm with whiskey. A knife in hand or in the sock band.

Yes and Yes!
Re: Rockjumper opinions?
I´d love to see that too... As usual, in my case not for the rust proofness (VG10 is basically 100% rustproof in my use anyway), but for the presumably linerless LIGHTER construction and the (also presumably) high viz color.
Would make the Rock Jumper even more a perfect climbing knife (black and "heavier" (it is not actually heavy, I know, but climbers and mountaineers tend to count grams) is not ideal here).
I was actually excited enough about the (back then) upcoming Rock Jumper, that I started a thread about possible variants when the knife was not even available in Europe.. (see here viewtopic.php?t=87759#p1457802)
My proposals back then were (copy and paste from that thread):
1.) Bright colored handle: Almost a must have in a climbing or mountain-rescue knife (which the RJ would be perfect for) - bright orange would be great.
2Linerless version: Nothing I would need, but I know some climbers and mountaineers are really concerned with weight
3.) (Killing two birds with one stone): Green handled, linerless Salt version (like the LC200N Pac Salt): Though not as good as orange, bright green is not bad either when it comes to visibility. I know, Sal has already mentioned that it is Erics plan to make Salt versions of most successfull models, but maybe it would be good to give the RockJumper some priority (again, especially concerning the bright color)
4.) XL version: Mentioned quite often already: A Rock Jumper XL would basically give us a backlock Caribbean... for me then probably the perfect general EDC knife. And while I prefer the wharnie blade in the current RJ, in an XL version a leaf shaped blade would be nice to have.
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)
