Spyderco co-founder Sal Glesser designed the lightweight, mid-sized RockJumper™ to fit the needs of outdoor enthusiasts and climbers. Based on the success of that popular model and feedback from its devoted users, Sal went back to the drawing board and created the LeafJumper™. The LeafJumper features the same ergonomic handle design as its cousin, including its nested, skeletonized stainless steel liners, fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) scales, non-slip Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern, stout back lock mechanism, positive self-close function, and fully configurable four-position pocket clip. Its VG-10 stainless steel blade also has a minimal ricasso (the unbeveled, full-thickness area nearest the handle) to offer the maximum edge length. What sets the LeafJumper apart, however, is its leaf-shaped blade. Full-flat ground, satin finished, and available in both PlainEdge™ and fully serrated SpyderEdge™ formats, it features a slightly upswept edge profile that raises and reinforces its point, increasing the knife’s versatility for many applications.
