General Spyderco | Jumpmaster™ 2 Frn Black

The Jumpmaster 2 Is A Second-Generation Expression Of The Acclaimed Jumpmaster Design That Combines All The High-Performance Features Of The Original With The Increased Versatility Of An Acute Point.

Developed In Close Cooperation With The U.S. Army’S 82Nd Airborne Division Jumpmasters—Specially Trained Airborne-Qualified Soldiers Who Control Parachutists During Airborne Operations—The Original Jumpmaster Was Purpose Designed To Quickly And Efficiently Cut Static Lines In “Hung Jumper” Situations. Its Blunt-Tipped Sheepfoot Blade Had One Of The Most Aggressive, Long-Wearing Edges Spyderco Ever Produced, Making It A Popular Tool Of Choice For Survival-Minded Individuals Who Wanted A Corrosion-Resistant Knife Capable Of Extreme Cutting Power. That Audience, However, Also Expressed A Preference For A More Acute, Utilitarian Point Design That Would Make The Knife Even More Versatile In Emergency Situations. When They Spoke, Spyderco Listened, And The Result Was The Jumpmaster 2.

Its Hollow-Ground Leaf-Shaped Blade Is Made From Ultra-Corrosion-Resistant H-1® Steel And Offers The Same Impressive Cutting Power And Edge Retention As Its Predecessor, But With The Added Benefit Of A More Versatile Point. Injection-Molded Fiberglass-Reinforced-Nylon (Frn) Scales With Bi-Directional Texturing™ Guarantee A Secure Grip And Are Attached To The Blade’S Skeletonized Full Tang With Corrosion-Resistant Hardware.

In Keeping With Its Broader Scope Of Application, The Jumpmaster 2 Is Furnished With A Custom-Molded, Snap-Fit Boltaron Sheath With A G-Clip™ Attachment. The Sheath’S Symmetrical Design Allows The Angle-Adjustable G-Clip To Be Attached To Either Side, Supporting A Wide Range Of Left Or Right-Side Carry Positions.
